Honestly, I always go for curl when dealing with APIs or anything HTTP-related. The fact that it supports like a billion protocols (ok, maybe not a billion, but a lot) makes it super versatile.
wget is my go-to for simple downloads or mirroring a whole site. But man, those flags? Yeah, I mix 'em up too.
If you're working with APIs, check out httpie (https://httpie.io/)—it's like curl but more human-friendly.
wget vs curl? Both have their place, but curl feels more modern to me.
