Or don’t. Alternatives are available - often with nicer interfaces!

IMO the main reason to use curl is that Chrome lets you copy web requests as a curl command line.

I want to read more, but sadly curl is the only article on the site.

things like oauth, binary websockets, loads of headers, etc all are way worse in curl than others. postman is terrible but there are plenty of other gui/cli options

I offer a compromise of using python’s requests library. It’s got most of the listed benefits, but I like python better than shell scripting.

It’s weird that I’ve been seeing job posts that list postman as a required skill. It’s not great.

I did use “Bruno” for a while to have a GUI for making requests. It was fine.
