How to properly use curl get for API requests? or What's the best way to handle curl get requests?[/

Hey! The issue might be that you're missing the `-X GET` flag (though it’s usually optional). Also, some APIs need headers like `Accept: application/json`. Try:

```bash
curl -X GET https://api.example.com/data -H "Accept: application/json"
```

If it’s still not working, check if the API requires auth—maybe add `-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"`.

For debugging, use `-v` to see the full request/response.
