can't use curl to query neo4j-CodePudding

I am trying to use curl to query neo4j

curl -X POST -H Accept:application/json -H Content-Type:application/json -u neo4j:password -v http://localhost:7474/db/neo4j/tx/commit -d '{"statements":[{"statement":"MATCH (n) RETURN n"}]}'

gives me this response

    Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.

If anyone could help please

CodePudding user response：

Should have mentioned I'm on windows. Apparently you have to escape those double quotes in the json

This works for me now:

curl -X POST -H Accept:application/json -H Content-Type:application/json -u neo4j:password -v http://localhost:7474/db/neo4j/tx/commit -d "{\"statements\":[{\"statement\":\"MATCH (n) RETURN n\"}]}"
