How do I properly use curl get to fetch data from a URL? or What's the correct syntax for a curl get

Curl get is just HTTP—no special sauce. But if you’re getting zip, try:

```
curl -i https://example.com/api
```

The `-i` includes headers in the response—might reveal a clue.

Also, some APIs hate missing user-agent. Try faking one:

```
curl -A "MyApp/1.0" https://example.com/api
```

For tools, httpie is like curl but prettier.
