Hey! I was in the same boat when I first tried to figure out how to use curl in a C program.

Here’s a super basic GET request example to get you started:

```c
#include <curl/curl.h>

int main() {
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
CURLcode res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(res != CURLE_OK)
fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(res));
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
return 0;
}
```

For error handling, always check the return codes! The libcurl docs are dense, but the examples on their site are gold.
