If you're doing a lot of requests for testing or some other purpose I could see an argument for a graphical interface. Curl is a masterpiece but it's not that simple to use. But again, we're in $current_year and I'd be surprised if "hey Claude, can you cook up a curl request to do this and that" doesn't work.

I use Postman a lot but this article was rather convincing.

Just save your requests in separate script and organize them.

And now you can run them from anywhere, including other scripts

Even simpler and free: `tldr curl` in your terminal gives you like 80% of what you need for day to day requests, `man curl` gives you 100% of what you need.
