Struggling with curl authorization basic? How do I properly authenticate using Basic Auth in curl?

I had this exact problem last week! Turns out, my password had a colon in it, which messed up the curl authorization basic syntax. If your password has special chars, try wrapping it in single quotes like `-u 'username:password'`.

If that doesn’t work, maybe the API has rate limits or IP restrictions? Worth checking the docs or contacting support.
