Hello Couchbase community.
I am complete beginer to couchdb and I dont realy know what Im doing here

I have downloaded this data sent on my ubuntu machine

wget https://data.cityofchicago.org/api/views/ydr8-5enu/rows.json?accessType=DOWNLOAD -O chicago_data.json

I am trying to format it so I can batch load it into couch db like this

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5984/chicago_data/_bulk_docs
-H “Content-Type: application/json”
-u admin:examplepassword
–data-binary @/tmp/chicago_data.json

but when I run this command I get this error

curl: (52) Empty reply from server

could anyone help me format this data properly so I can load it into couch

Hi @scotsoradis121 - although couchdb has some shared history with couchbase, they are no longer related. Sorry.
“Empty reply from server” is a response that curl can give when trying to use http protocol to a non-http service (port). Check that you are specifying the correct port number and that the correct service is listening on that port.
