Creating a cURL command

In this step, we will create a cURL command that we will then import into the postman. A cURL command usually contains the HTTP method, the headers, the request body, and some other relevant data like cookies, etc.

Our example cURL will look like below:

curl -X GET https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1
