Curl - input line by line from text file

Hi,

I've got a text file with hundreds of lines I need to upload to an API via curl, one by one.

The text file is like:

Code:

2012-08-01 10:45,124
2012-08-02 10:45,132
2012-08-03 10:45,114

I want to get curl to go through the text file sending a post for each line.

like:

Code:

curl --request POST http://website/api/post?apikey=$key\&time=$timestamp\&json={meter1:$data}"

Any help appreciated!
