When sending JSON data in a POST request, instead of writing it inline with the
|
|
`--data` or `--json` option, a filename can be entered - prefixed with an `@`
|
|
symbol.
|
|
|
|
For example, to POST the data from a data.json file:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl --insecure --json @data.json https://mysite.com/webhook
|
|
```
