Hey! You're right to be cautious about using curl ignore cert. It’s super risky on public networks since anyone could intercept your data.

For testing, I’d stick to localhost or a private sandbox. If you’re worried about certs, you can generate self-signed certs for testing. Tools like OpenSSL or mkcert make it easy to create trusted certs locally.

Also, check out Postman for API testing—it’s way more user-friendly and has built-in options for handling certs securely.
