How do I post a cURL request from Unity?

Question

I am considering implementing a system like Gumroad for license administration in my end software but to communicate with it's API I need to send cURL commands such as:

curl https://api.gumroad.com/v2/licenses/verify

I notice a number of other similar organisations to Gumroad also all seem to use cCURL to access their apis (SendOwl for example)

It seems quite important so how on earth do I do this from Unity? Thanks

It doesn't have to be cURL. What you need to do is to send a POST request to this API endpoint with the right data.

 IEnumerator Upload()
     {
         WWWForm form = new WWWForm();
         form.AddField("myField", "myData");
 
         using (UnityWebRequest www = UnityWebRequest.Post("https://api.gumroad.com/v2/licenses/verify", form))
         {
             yield return www.SendWebRequest();
 
             if (www.isNetworkError || www.isHttpError)
             {
                 Debug.Log(www.error);
             }
             else
             {
                 Debug.Log("Form upload complete!");
             }
         }
     }

You can download a tool called Postman to simulate requests.
