How to Properly Set the curl Authorization Header for API Requests?

16 Replies, 1429 Views

Hey everyone,
So I’ve been trying to figure out how to properly set the curl authorization header for API requests, and I’m kinda stuck.

I’ve seen examples like:
`curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" https://api.example.com`
but sometimes it just doesn’t work for me. Am I missing something?

Also, what if the API uses Basic Auth? Do I just do:
`curl -u username:password https://api.example.com`
or is there a way to manually set the curl authorization header for that too?

Kinda new to this, so any tips or examples would be super helpful!
Thanks in advance!

P.S. If anyone knows why my curl authorization header keeps getting rejected, lmk lol.
