How can I post output of an API using curl and handle the response? or What's the best way to post ou

Yo, had the same issue last week! Make sure your `-d` payload is valid JSON. I’ve been burned by extra spaces or unescaped chars.

Also, some APIs need an `Authorization` header. Maybe you’re missing that?

Pro tip: Pipe the output to `jq` to prettify the response:
```bash
curl ... | jq .
```
