The tutorials in this guide describe how to make API calls using client URL (cURL, or curl) commands. Each curl command may contain many pieces of data, which can be difficult to read when written as one long line that requires horizontal scrolling. To improve readability, where feasible, this guide uses the \ character to mark artificial line breaks to visually separate different pieces of a curl command. Depending on the command line application you use to run the curl commands (for example, Command Prompt or Terminal), you may need to remove the line breaks or otherwise edit any copied curl examples to align with the syntax preferred by the application.
