How do I properly send a POST request in curl? or What's the correct way to make a POST request in cu

yo, had the same issue last week!

You def need headers for JSON. Try this:

```curl -X POST https://example.com/api -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"key":"value"}'```

If it fails, maybe the server expects form data? Swap `-d` for `-F` and remove the JSON header.

Also, `curl --verbose` helps debug errors.
