curl -u username:password -X GET 'https://cloud.example.com/ocs/v1.php/...' -H "OCS-APIRequest: true"

You can change the response type of your request by adding an Accept header. For example, if you prefer JSON responses:

.. code-block:: bash

curl -u username:password -X GET 'https://cloud.example.com/ocs/v1.php/...' -H "Accept: application/json" -H "OCS-APIRequest: true"

Adding the Accept header also ensures consistency of your responses, since some legacy OCS requests return XML as their default response, while newer requests return JSON.
