[SOLVED] Can I have curl print just the response code?

Issue

I read https://superuser.com/questions/272265/getting-curl-to-output-http-status-code . It mentioned that

curl -i 

will print the HTTP response code. Is it possible to have curl print just the HTTP response code? Is there a generic way to get the HTTP status code for any type of request like GET/POST/etc?

I am using curl 7.54.0 on Mac OS High Sierra.


Solution

This worked for me:

$  curl -s -w "%{http_code}\n" http://google.com/ -o /dev/null
