Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsWhat's the correct curl command? I've tried lots of combos
Help! :)
I'm sure this is the right part of the documentation to look up. https://developer.github.com/v3/orgs/members/#members-list
Am I getting the correct member name i.e. thephpleague? Thanks :)

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsHi Jason,
I'm surprised the challenge didn't link properly, but here we go :) https://teamtreehouse.com/library/using-the-github-api-with-php/communicating-with-a-restful-api/using-curl

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsYeah, sometimes, I've found that it misses the link.
Anyways, this one threw me too. Maybe because I was thinking along the lines of actual PHP cURL coding, instead of a command line code, just because of where the challenge was in relation to the videos. I'm not sure.
But, this challenge actually relates back to the second video at about the 3:00 mark. The documentation link provides the info you need for that. Once I finally got all that figured...
The ah-ha! moment:
curl https://api.github.com/orgs/thephpleague/members
Hope it helps! :)

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsHi Jason,
I did look back through the video, back and forth through the screens to find the command I needed. What throws me is the GET, and the :orgs on the page. Using commands with those included, or one of them, or none. :p
GET /orgs/:org/members
So I get as far as
curl https://api.github.com/ ....
And then the fun starts.
Anyway, I've just tried your command which worked. :D
I assume the GET in the documentation refers to the above text... curl https://api.github.com/
But I'm not sure how I;m supposed to connect :orgs
with the rest of the command. I made educated guesses and got close but never exactly right.
Thanks :-)

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsHey Jonathan,
Could you post the link to the quiz. I do remember this one giving me some issues, but I can't remember the answer. If I see the question, it may come to me.
