Thanks for the tips! I’d also recommend using `curl --trace-ascii debug.txt` to log the entire request and response to a file. Super useful for debugging when curl send json doesn’t work as expected.
Another tool worth checking out is https://hoppscotch.io/. It’s a lightweight API testing tool that’s great for quick experiments.

This is gold! One more thing: if you’re sending JSON with nested objects, make sure to escape the inner quotes properly. I’ve had curl send json fail because of that.
Also, if you’re on Windows, try using Git Bash instead of Powershell. It handles curl commands way better.
