Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 577

What is a command-line tool for consuming REST APIs?

Answer options

• A. Python requests
• B. Postman
• C. cURL
• D. Firefox

Correct answer: C

Explanation

cURL is a command-line tool specifically designed for making HTTP requests, making it ideal for consuming REST APIs. Python requests and Postman are great for REST API interactions as well, but they are not command-line tools; Postman is a GUI application while Python requests is a library. Firefox is a web browser and not a tool for consuming APIs directly from the command line.
