On the [Stellar development guides](https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/get-started/create-account.html) it states that using the following code, you can achieve the following:

> 
> To create a test account, send Friendbot the public key you created. It’ll create and fund a new account using that public key as the account ID.
> 
> 
> 

```
var request = require('request');
request.get({
  url: 'https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org/friendbot',
  qs: { addr: pair.publicKey() },
  json: true
}, function(error, response, body) {
  if (error || response.statusCode !== 200) {
    console.error('ERROR!', error || body);
  }
  else {
    console.log('SUCCESS! You have a new account :)\n', body);
  }
});

```

However it states that the SDK does not have tools for creating test accounts, so I would have to make my own HTTP request.

How do I use this code to do this? For the previous code block on that page to create an account I used node.js but now I have to use a HTTP request? Could anyone help me please.

I have tried using `curl "https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org/friendbot?addr=<your-public-key>"` in my terminal.
