Need Help with curl basic auth: How Do I Pass Credentials Correctly?

Hey! Just a quick tip: make sure your username and password don’t have spaces or weird characters. If they do, wrap them in quotes like this:

```
curl -u "username:password_with_special_chars" https://example.com
```

Also, check if the API requires a specific content type or headers. Sometimes, 401 errors happen because of missing headers, not just auth issues.
