How to properly use curl HTTP POST for sending data? or What's the correct syntax for a curl HTTP POS

14 Replies, 1237 Views

For curl http post, your command looks fine for form data, but if the API expects JSON, you gotta tweak it. Try:

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

Pro tip: Use `jq` to prettify JSON responses (`curl ... | jq`). Also, websites like reqbin.com let you test curl commands online—super handy for debugging!
