Wow, thanks everyone for the awesome tips! I didn’t realize how much I was missing with headers—definitely gonna start including `Content-Type` and `Accept` more consistently.
I tried using Postman like a few of you suggested, and it’s been a game-changer for testing my http request commands. Also, the tip about connection pooling and timeouts makes so much sense—I’ll look into `httpx` for Python.
One follow-up: anyone have experience with retry logic for failed requests? Like, how many retries do you usually set, and do you use exponential backoff? Cheers!
