curl progress - only show percentage

Question

Is there an option for the curl command to show only a percentage output to shell rather than all of this, for example:

  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average          


        

Answer 1

Two modifiers might help, although neither are exact: --silent will suppress all updates and --progress-bar will show a progress bar only.

Edit: One option to make things easier would be to make a wrapper using Expect to simplify the output to your shell script or whatever is listening to curl.

Answer 2

You might want to try the -# option.

It shows a simple progress bar and percentage downloaded.

Answer 3

Does the parameter -# solve your problem?

-#/--progress-bar

Make curl display progress information as a progress bar instead of the default statistics.

From here.
