Ah. That&#x27;s what makes it useful.  Writing<p><pre><code>   curl -X POST -H &quot;Content-Type: application&#x2F;json&quot; -H &quot;Authorization: Bearer b7d03a6947b217efb6f3ec3bd3504582&quot; -d &#x27;{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;A&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;www&quot;,&quot;data&quot;:&quot;162.10.66.0&quot;,&quot;priority&quot;:null,&quot;port&quot;:null,&quot;weight&quot;:null}&#x27; &quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;api.digitalocean.com&#x2F;v2&#x2F;domains&#x2F;example.com&#x2F;records&quot;
</code></pre>
by hand would seem to indicate you&#x27;re using the wrong tool for the job. But if other tools use curl commands as a notation for HTTP requests, curl command to programming language conversion has a real use case.
