How Do I Properly Set and Modify a Curl Header in My API Requests?

16 Replies, 1833 Views

Hey! Stacking `-H` flags is the way to go for multiple curl headers. Like:
`curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Custom-Header: value" https://example.com`

For escaping quotes, it depends on your shell. Bash usually handles double quotes fine, but single quotes can help avoid issues.

Dynamically changing headers mid-request isn’t built into curl, but you could use a script to modify headers before sending.

Also, https://httpie.io/ is a cool alternative to curl if you want something simpler.
