Honestly, using curl ignore cert is fine for quick tests, but yeah, never on public networks. I usually set up a VM or Docker container for testing APIs. That way, even if something goes wrong, it’s isolated.
If you’re testing APIs frequently, maybe look into tools like Insomnia or HTTPie. They’re great alternatives to curl and handle SSL certs better.
