By now you've probably got the hang of this, and you know that for simple RPC commands, all you need to do is adjust the `method` is the `curl` command: ``` -$ curl --user StandUp:8eaf562eaf45c33c3328bc66008f2dd1 --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getrawchangeaddress", "params": ["legacy"] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:18332/ | jq -r '.' +$ curl --user StandUp:8eaf562eaf45c33c3328bc66008f2dd1 --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getrawchangeaddress", "params": ["", "legacy"] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:18332/ | jq -r '.' { "result": "mrSqN37TPs89GcidSZTvXmMzjxoJZ6RKoz", "error": null, "id": "curltest" } +> **WARNING:** The parameters order is important when you are sending RPC commands using curl. For example here, if we had sent `"params": ["legacy"]` instead of `"params": ["", "legacy"]`, we would get a `bech32` address with a label of `"legacy"` instead of a `legacy` address, so pay attention to the order. + ``` At this point, we can even revert to our standard practice of saving results to variables with additional help from `jq`: ``` -$ changeaddress=$(curl --user StandUp:8eaf562eaf45c33c3328bc66008f2dd1 --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getrawchangeaddress", "params": ["legacy"] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:18332/ | jq -r '.result') +$ changeaddress=$(curl --user StandUp:8eaf562eaf45c33c3328bc66008f2dd1 --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getrawchangeaddress", "params": ["", "legacy"] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:18332/ | jq -r '.result') $ echo $changeaddress mqdfnjgWr2r3sCCeuTDfe8fJ1CnycF2e6R ```
