What Are the Most Useful curl Flags You Use Regularly? or Can Someone Explain These Essential curl Fl

`-b` and `-c` for cookies! Some APIs need session persistence, and these curl flags make it trivial.

Also, `-A "User-Agent"` to fake your UA. Helpful when APIs block "curl" by default lol.

For messy commands, I use `jq` to prettify JSON responses:

```
curl -sS https://api.example.com | jq
```

Clean af.
