How to Properly Set the curl Authorization Header for API Requests?

21 Replies, 1435 Views

Ugh, the curl authorization header is such a headache at first. 😩 One thing I do is use `alias` in my terminal to create shortcuts for common curl commands.

For example:
`alias curlapi='curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"'`

Then you just type `curlapi` and add the URL. Saves so much time!

Also, if you’re working with APIs a lot, check out https://hoppscotch.io/. It’s a lightweight alternative to Postman.
