How do I send a GET request using Curl?
To make a GET request using Curl, run the curl command followed by the target URL. Curl automatically selects the HTTP GET request method unless you use the -X, --request, or -d command-line option. The target URL is passed as the first command-line option. To add additional HTTP headers, use the -H command line option. Curl automatically adds an Accept: */* request header if no additional headers are passed, which tells the server that the Curl client can accept data in any format.
