Curl With Cookies

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.
