Searches for web radio by submitted keyword and returns the station name and the link for listing . May be enhanced to read user's selection and submit it to mplayer. Show Sample Output

Each file in the current folder is uploaded to imageshack.us If the folder contains other filetypes change:
for files in *to:for files in *.jpg(to upload ONLY .jpg files) Additionally you can try (results may vary):for files in *.jpg *.pngThe output URL is encased with BB image tags for use in a forum. Show Sample Output4imageshack() { for files in *; do curl -H Expect: -F fileupload="@$files" -F xml=yes -# "http://www.imageshack.us/index.php" | grep image_link | sed -e 's/<image_link>/[IMG]/g' -e 's/<\/image_link>/[\/IMG]/g'; done; } -
Shorter and made into a function. Show Sample Output
4googl () { curl -s -d "url=${1}" http://goo.gl/api/url | sed -n "s/.*:\"\([^\"]*\).*/\1\n/p" ;} -
Just add this function to your .zshrc / .bashrc, and by typing "shout *URL*" you get a randomly chosen English word that ShoutKey.com uses to short your URL. You may now go to shoutkey.com/*output_word* and get redirected. The URL will be valid for 5 minutes. (I've never used sed before, so I'll be quite glad if someone could straighten up the sed commands and combine them (perhaps also removing the whitespace). If so, I'll update it right away ;) ) Show Sample Output
4shout () { curl -s "http://shoutkey.com/new?url=$1" | sed -n 's/\<h1\>/\&/p' | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g;/</N;//b' ;} -
like 7300, but doesn't clutter your working directory with old qr.*.png files. This will get the QR barcode, and send it right into ImageMagick's 'display' tool. Usage is the same as 7300; just call this function followed by the URL:
qrurl http://xkcd.com4qrurl() { curl -sS "http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=200x200&cht=qr&chld=H|0&chl=$1" -o - | display -filter point -resize 600x600 png:-; } -
4curl -I g.cn
-
4date -s "$(curl -sD - www.example.com | grep '^Date:' | cut -d' ' -f3-6)Z"
-
That makes a function you can put in your ~/.bashrc to run it when you need in any term with an IP as argument Show Sample Output
3GeoipLookUp(){ curl -A "Mozilla/5.0" -s "http://www.geody.com/geoip.php?ip=$1" | grep "^IP.*$1" | html2text; } -
use curl and sed to shorten an url via goo.gl
3curl -s 'http://ggl-shortener.appspot.com/?url='"$1" | sed -e 's/{"short_url":"//' -e 's/"}/\n/g' -
runs an rss feed through sed replacing the closing tags with newlines and the opening tags with white space making it readable. Show Sample Output
3curl --silent "FEED ADDRESS" |sed -e 's/<\/[^>]*>/\n/g' -e 's/<[^>]*>//g -
Just an alternative with more advanced formating for readability purpose. It now uses colors (too much for me but it's a kind of proof-of-concept), and adjust columns. Show Sample Output
3curl -u username --silent "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" | awk 'BEGIN{FS="\n";RS="(</entry>\n)?<entry>"}NR!=1{print "\033[1;31m"$9"\033[0;32m ("$10")\033[0m:\t\033[1;33m"$2"\033[0m"}' | sed -e 's,<[^>]*>,,g' | column -t -s $'\t' -
required packages: curl, xml2, html2text command is truncated, see 'sample output' Show Sample Output
3open R,"curl -s http://feeds2.feedburner.com/Command-line-fu|xml2|"; while(<R>){ chomp; m(^/rss/channel/item/title=) and do{ s/^.*?=//; ($t,$d,$l)=($_,undef,undef) }; m(^/rss/channel/item/description=) and do{ s/^.*?=//; push @d,$_ }; m(^/rss/channel/item -
Watches the headers of a curl, following any redirects and printing only the HTTP status and the location of the possible redirects. Show Sample Output
3watch 'curl -s --location -I http://any.site.or.url | grep -e "\(HTTP\|Location\)"' -
With the "--resolve" switch, you can avoid doing DNS lookups or edit the /etc/hosts file, by providing the IP address for a domain directly. Useful if you have many servers with different IP addresses behind a load balancer. Of course, you would loop it:
for IP in 10.11.0.{1..10}; do curl --resolve subdomain.example.com:80:$IP subdomain.example.com -I -s; done3curl --resolve subdomain.example.com:80:10.100.0.1 subdomain.example.com -I -s -
3curl -s http://whatismyip.org/ | grep -oP '(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d+'
-
3GITUSER=$(whoami); curl "https://api.github.com/users/${GITUSER}/starred?per_page=1000" | grep -o 'git@[^"]*' | xargs -L1 git clone
-
miss a class at UTOSC2010? need a refresher? use this to curl down all the presentations from the UTOSC website. (http://2010.utosc.com) NOTE/WARNING this will dump them in the current directory and there are around 37 and some are big - tested on OSX10.6.1 Show Sample Output
2b="http://2010.utosc.com"; for p in $( curl -s $b/presentation/schedule/ | grep /presentation/[0-9]*/ | cut -d"\"" -f2 ); do f=$(curl -s $b$p | grep "/static/slides/" | cut -d"\"" -f4); if [ -n "$f" ]; then echo $b$f; curl -O $b$f; fi done -
Alternative to the ping check if your firewall blocks ping. Uses curl to get the landing page silently, or fail with an error code. You can probably do this with wget as well. Show Sample Output
2curl -fs brandx.jp.sme 2&>1 > /dev/null || echo brandx.jp.sme ping failed | mail -ne -s'Server unavailable' joker@jp.co.uk -
A function that takes a domain name as an argument Show Sample Output
2geo(){ curl -s "http://www.geody.com/geoip.php?ip=$(dig +short $1)"| sed '/^IP:/!d;s/<[^>][^>]*>//g'; } -
Requires display. Corrected version thanks to sputnick and eightmillion user.
2display http://dilbert.com$(curl -s dilbert.com|grep -Po '"\K/dyn/str_strip(/0+){4}/.*strip.[^\.]*\.gif') -
This version prints current votes and commands for a user. Pass the user as an argument. While this technically "fits" as a one liner, it really is easier to look at as a shell script with extra whitespace. :) Show Sample Output
2curl -s http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/by/$1/xml | awk -F'</?div[^>]*>' '/class=\"command\"/{gsub(/"/,"\"",$2); gsub(/</,"<",$2); gsub(/>/,">",$2); gsub(/&/,"\\&",$2); cmd=$2} /class=\"num-votes\"/{printf("%3i %s\n", $2, cmd)}' -
This will tell you which twitter user you are chronologically. For example, a number of 500 means you were the 500th user to create a twitter account. Show Sample Output
2curl -s http://twitter.com/username | grep 'id="user_' | grep -o '[0-9]*' -
There's another version on here that uses GET but some people don't have lwp-request, so here's an alternative. It's also a little shorter and should work with most youtube URLs since it truncates at the first &
2url="[Youtube URL]"; echo $(curl ${url%&*} 2>&1 | grep -iA2 '<title>' | grep '-') | sed 's/^- //' -
In this example 'git' is the user name and the output format is YAML but you can change this to XML or JSON, eg: curl http://github.com/api/v1/json/usernamehere Show Sample Output
2curl http://github.com/api/v1/yaml/git -
In this example we search for 'vim' but vim doesn't have a project on github right now. That's ok, this command still searches for every project that has 'vim' in their description (forks, plugins, etc). To get XML or JSON output just replace 'yaml' in the url with 'xml' or 'json'. Show Sample Output
2curl http://github.com/api/v1/yaml/search/vim - < 1 2 3 4 5 > Last ›
