+I don't use complicated or bloated applications to test HTTP requests and API endpoints.
+
+I just use `curl` on my command line.
+
+For example, if I want to query the Drupal.org API for my user information, I can run `curl https://www.drupal.org/api-d7/user.json?uid=381388` and see the response.
+
+To see the request and response headers, status code, SSL certificate information and more, I can run `curl -v` to run it in verbose mode.
+
+If the response returns JSON, I can use `jq` to format the results.
+
+If I need to make a POST request, I can use `-X POST`, I can use `--data` or `--json` to send data and `--header` to send any required headers.
+
+curl is great program with so many options and no AI bloat, complicated UIs or paid plans.
+
+Want to see what else it can do?
+
+Just open your terminal and type `man curl`.
