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

Basic auth? Nah, we’re in the Bearer token era now. 😎 But yeah, the curl authorization header can be tricky. One thing that helped me was using `curl --help` to see all the options.

Also, if you’re dealing with APIs a lot, check out https://httpie.io/. It’s like curl but more user-friendly.

And don’t forget to escape special characters in your token if needed. That one got me a few times.
