Frequently Asked Questions
- What is cURL?
- cURL (Client URL) is a command-line tool for transferring data using various protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, etc.). Developers use cURL to test APIs, download files, and debug network requests. A typical HTTP request looks like: curl -X POST https://api.example.com -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"query": "..."}'
- What is GraphQL?
- GraphQL is a query language for APIs that lets clients request exactly the data they need. Unlike REST with fixed endpoints, GraphQL uses a single endpoint where clients specify their data requirements. This reduces over-fetching and enables more efficient API interactions.
- How do I convert a cURL command to code?
- Parse the cURL flags: -X sets the HTTP method, -H sets headers, -d sets the request body, and the URL is the endpoint. Our tool extracts these components and generates equivalent code in various languages. You can also use browser DevTools to copy requests as cURL.
- What are common cURL flags?
- Common cURL flags: -X (HTTP method), -H (headers), -d (data/body), -u (authentication), -k (skip SSL verification), -v (verbose output), -o (output file), -L (follow redirects), --compressed (accept compressed response). Multiple -H flags can set multiple headers.
- How do I test a GraphQL API with cURL?
- Use: curl -X POST https://api.example.com/graphql -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"query": "{ users { id name } }"}'. The query goes in the JSON body under the 'query' key. Variables go under 'variables'. The endpoint is typically a single /graphql path.
