curl: This is the command-line tool used to make HTTP requests.
--header "Content-Type: application/json": This option sets the request header with the specified content type. In this case, it is set to "application/json", indicating that the data being sent in the request body is in JSON format.
--request POST: This option specifies that the HTTP request method should be POST. POST is used to send data to the server, typically for creating or updating resources.

${url}: This is the URL where you want to send the HTTP request. Replace ${url} with the actual URL.
