Own Nominatim Server gives no JSON output in Curl

Question

Hello,

my own nomination server works well. In Chrome I get my JSON output:

[
    {
        "place_id": "6781110",
        "licence": "Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright",
        "osm_type": "way",
        "osm_id": "35776867",
        "boundingbox": [
            "52.5531628",
            "52.5534904",
            "13.3737733",
            "13.3743485"
        ],
        "lat": "52.55333255",
        "lon": "13.3739065743598",
        "display_name": "20, Gottschedstraße, Gesundbrunnen, Mitte, Berlin, 13357, Deutschland",
        "class": "building",
        "type": "yes",
        "importance": 0.101
    }
]

but in my linux bash I get with: curl -H "Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8" http://sgwtest.ddns.net/nominatim/search.php?q=13357+gottschedstraße+20&format=json

I get only the HTML-part like:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head>
    <title>OpenStreetMap Nominatim: Search</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <base href="/nominatim/" />
    <link href="nominatim.xml" rel="search" title="Nominatim Search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" />
    <link href="css/leaflet.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="css/bootstrap-theme.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="css/common.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <link href="css/search.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head>

But why? In chrome it works very well, why not with curl

Accepted Answer

If you have really entered the curl command as written, then your shell has cut off everything after the first & which on Unix is traditionally a way to end a command and send it to the background. You have to add quotes around the URL, like so:

curl "http://sgwtest.ddns.net/nominatim/search.php?q=13357+gottschedstraße+20&format=json"
