FAQ: I cannot call API from command line

Q: I have API enabled for my account and I have my IP added to the white list according to this instruction: blog.wmspanel.com/2014/08/wmspanel-real-time-stats-api.html

When I make this call:
# wget https://api.wmspanel.com/v1/data_slices?client_id=aaaaaaaa&api_key=bbbbbb
it returns 403 response. When I make this call from browser, it succeeds.

What might be the problem?

A: Please quote the URL which you use for the call. Like this:

# wget 'https://api.wmspanel.com/v1/data_slices?client_id=aaaaaaaa&api_key=bbbbbb'

Because otherwise the ampersand sign is processed as a launch of second command.
This is why this could be launched from browser and couldn't be launched from command line for you. And it will be working fine when calling from your scripts.
