At heart, ECaccess Web Services APIs use JSON as a data format
and HTTPS as a protocol for data transmission. ECMWF has released a
full-featured Perl client library to make interacting with ECaccess
Web Services APIs easier. However, if Perl is not available on your
platform or you are not able to install additional software then
CURL is an alternative to interact with the ECaccess Web
Services.
CURL is a command-line application for performing requests using
a variety of protocols including HTTPS, required to interact with
the APIs at a low level.
In this document we assume that you are already familiar with
the ECaccess Services. If this is not the case then please have
refer to other sections in this User Guide to learn about the
concepts behind Gateways, Operations, Associations, Protocols,
Files, Jobs, Events, Queues and Transfers.
