Need Help with a curl GET Request – Why Isn't It Returning the Expected Data?

11 Replies, 2136 Views

Hey! Just a quick tip—try adding `-H "Accept: application/json"` to your curl get request. Some APIs won’t return data unless you specify the response format.

Also, check if the API requires a specific HTTP method. Sometimes they expect POST even if you’re just fetching data.

If you’re still stuck, maybe try hitting the API with a different tool like Thunder Client (a VS Code extension). It’s super lightweight and easy to use.
