Some endpoints require certain cookies to be included in order to get the response you are looking for. For instance, if the endpoint is authenticated with a session cookie, then you will need to provide that session cookie when curling.
The -b
flag can be used to instruct curl
to include a cookie in the header
of a request.
$ curl -b session=abc123SessionToken https://authenticated-url.com
See man curl
for more details and other flags.
