rails how to call a controller action on running local server from command line

Question

I read that it is not a good practice. But I'm ok with it. I am now calling the action from the browser url with a route to the action but I would like to be able to call directly from the command line without opening the browser. I do not want to call the action when I start the server, as I may need to run different actions and/or several times in each session.

Might be a little irrelevant, but why do you want to do that? And why not use tests/rspec instead? — angkiki, Dec 13 '16 at 11:11
@angkiki Its just my scraping setup. Lots of manual/frequent adjustments. — Francisco, Dec 13 '16 at 11:18

You can use curl to create http requests from command line.
