How to Use curl POST JSON to Send Data to an API?

16 Replies, 1034 Views

Hey, thanks for the post! I’ve been using curl post json for API testing, and one thing that’s helped me is using `--data-urlencode` for URL-encoded JSON data. It’s not always necessary, but some APIs require it.

Also, if you’re dealing with APIs that return compressed responses, you can use `--compressed` to automatically decompress the response. It’s a small thing, but it makes life easier.

For quick JSON editing, I use jsoneditoronline.org. It’s free and works in the browser, so no need to install anything.
