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

11 Replies, 2121 Views

Hey! Just wanted to add—curl get requests can be tricky, but you’re doing great. One thing I’d try is adding `-H "Cache-Control: no-cache"` to your headers. Sometimes APIs return cached data, and this forces a fresh request.

Also, check if the API requires a specific IP whitelist. Some APIs only allow requests from certain IPs, and they’ll return a generic error if you’re not on the list.

If you’re still stuck, maybe try using a tool like Postwoman (now Hoppscotch). It’s a great alternative to Postman.
