// Written by retoor@molodetz.nl

// This code defines a simple HTTP client using libcurl in C, providing a function `curl_post` to make POST requests with JSON data, including authorization via a bearer token.

// Uses libcurl for HTTP requests and includes a custom "auth.h" for API key resolution.
