How to Use curl with Username and Password for Secure API Authentication?

9 Replies, 1993 Views

If you’re worried about security, you can also use `--netrc-file` with curl to specify a custom file for credentials. This is super handy if you don’t want to use the default `.netrc` file.

Another tip: if you’re on Linux, you can clear your command history after running the curl command to avoid leaving traces. Just run `history -d $(history 1)` right after.
