How to Properly Use curl with Headers for API Requests?

22 Replies, 1769 Views

Hey there! For curl with headers, the `-H` flag is definitely the way to go. If you’re working with APIs, you’ll often need to include headers like `Accept`, `Authorization`, or `Content-Type`.

Here’s a quick example for a GET request with custom headers:

`curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" https://api.example.com/resource`

Spaces and quotes are important, so double-check your syntax. If you’re unsure, try running the command with `-v` for verbose output to see what’s being sent.
