Can I have curl print just the response code?

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.

Another solution:

curl -sI http://example.org | head -n 1 | cut -d ' ' -f 2

in this way you are:

  1. getting the first HTTP response line (head -n 1), which must contain the response HTTP version, the response code and the response message (in this order), each one separated by a whitespace (as defined in the HTTP standard);
  2. getting the 2° field of this line (cut -d ' ' -f 2), which is the status code

This worked for me:

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