Which curl flags does the generated command use?

Typically -X for the method, -H for each header, and -d for the request body. The generator assembles and quotes them correctly so the command runs as-is.

How do I send JSON with curl?

Set a Content-Type: application/json header and pass the JSON with -d. This tool builds exactly that, with proper shell quoting around the payload.

How do I add Bearer token authentication?

Add an Authorization header with the value Bearer . The generator includes it as -H "Authorization: Bearer …" in the output.

Why use curl instead of a GUI client?

curl commands are portable and shareable — they run on any machine, paste into docs and issues, and translate directly into CI scripts, unlike GUI-client collections.
