How Do I Properly Structure a curl GET Request for API Calls? or What’s the Best Way to Send a curl G

Honestly, curl get requests can fail silently if the URL has special chars. Try URL-encoding the params manually or use `curl --globoff "URL"` to avoid weird parsing.

Also, `httpie` is a nicer alternative to curl for API testing—more readable syntax.

Thanks y’all! The `-v` flag was a game-changer—turns out the API was redirecting to HTTPS and dropping my params. Fixed it by adding `-L` to follow redirects.

Still getting a 403 though… could it be a rate limit? How do I check that?
