CURL is a utility function now available as part of Couchbase Eventing Functions with several enhancements and improvements coming to its usage, including automatic parsing and marshaling of data types, support for session cookies and additional authentication types. These changes are part of the upcoming Couchbase Server 6.5 release, which also includes improvements and enhancements to the Eventing framework. To use CURL in an event, a URL alias must be created in Function Settings, specifying the base URL for the desired API call. A simple example of using CURL is shown, demonstrating how to make an HTTP request to the Open Weather Map API and retrieve weather data, which will be saved to a document. The new CURL function offers more flexibility with its usage, including support for HTTPS connections and headers, and users are encouraged to update their code to take advantage of these improvements before the beta release in summer 2019.
