Operating system

macOS

Joplin version

2.14.20

Desktop version info

Joplin 2.14.20 (prod, darwin)

Client ID: 206cfd1086484109b8a77fa60c12f14f
Sync Version: 3
Profile Version: 46
Keychain Supported: Yes

Revision: cfd98e3

Backup: 1.4.0

What issue do you have?

I am way over my head - I don't know UNIX and I can barely manage to use macOS terminal. Having said that, I am trying to use the Joplin Data API.
I'm copying examples from the Joplin Data API webpage, but without success.

I'm trying - just to get my feet wet - to retrieve my Joplin tags. I enter

curl -X GET http://localhost:41184/tags?token=4bfd16de....

and get the error

zsh: no matches found: http://localhost:41184/tags?token=4bfd16de..

what am I missing?

Joplin is running. Google Chrome is running. I can use the Joplin web clipper.
This works in terminal:
curl -X GET http://localhost:41184/ping
and returns
JoplinClipperServer%

thanks for any insight....

Try put the URL in singular quotation marks, i.e:
curl -X GET 'http://localhost:41184/tags?token=4bfd16de'

It's possible the shell is interpreting some of the URL as shell syntax and the singular quotation marks may help tell it not to.

Thanks! That worked.
