cURL
cURL is a handy command line tool that makes it super easy to transfer data to and from different web servers. Remember the days when using a computer meant knowing a bunch of command line stuff? Well, that’s changed! Thanks to GUIs (graphical user interfaces), you don't need to be an expert anymore. Still, using commands can make some tasks quicker, and that's where cURL shines.
What Can You Do with cURL?
This tool is pretty versatile! You can set it up for some really complex data transfer tasks or keep things simple if you just want to do basic stuff. If you're looking for something even easier than cURL for minimal tasks, check out wget.
Perfect for Testing APIs
One of the coolest things about cURL is its ability to communicate with web servers. This makes it perfect for testing APIs, managing apps that work with cURL, and even web scraping. You can find websites that let you pull data using cURL, which is pretty useful!
Sending Requests Made Easy
The main thing people use cURL for is testing APIs. With this tool, sending and receiving responses is super straightforward. As long as you're authenticated, you can send GET and POST requests from different API endpoints without any hassle.
Your Non-Interactive Browser
If you think of cURL as a non-interactive browser, you're spot on! Unlike browsers like Firefox or Chrome that show info visually, cURL just pulls data from the web and shows it right in your terminal window. And if you want to save that data? No problem—you can easily do that too!
A Wide Range of Protocols
Curl supports tons of protocols! You can use it with all sorts of connections like POP3, IMAP, Telnet, HTTPS, FTPS, and SCP. And here’s a fun fact: if you don’t specify a protocol when using cURL, it will default to HTTP.
