Yo, solid post! I’ve been using curl post json for API testing, and one thing that tripped me up was forgetting to escape special characters in the JSON. Like, if you have a backslash or quotes inside your data, you gotta escape them properly.
Also, if you’re dealing with APIs that require authentication, don’t forget to include the `-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"` header. I’ve missed that more times than I’d like to admit lol.
For quick JSON validation, I use jsonlint.com. It’s super simple and catches errors before you send the request.
