How to curl the API?

Hi all,

I am trying to create a simple RSS-to-post bot. I am using IFTTT to do this. Anyways, I have had only mild success with the existing documentation and I am hoping you can help.

I am able to successfully login via Postman app with below URL and supplied JSON:

https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user/login

{
    "username_or_email": "bennysp",
    "password": "[REDACTED]",
    "totp_2fa_token": "[REDACTED]"
}

The problem is that I cannot find api documentation that seems to match curl/url responses using the auth token. I have stumbled my way through finding things like community and supplying an id via param, but I am simply guessing.

Example: (assumes you have jq installed)
curl -k -X GET https://lemmy.world/api/v3/community?id=23677 | jq .

I have done something like this on Mastodon pretty easily because I can get a token and just pass that as a header to the Webhook/curl.

Any help is appreciated.
