Hi there,

It would depend on the technology stack that you are planning to use rather than the OS of the server.

For example, if you are using Laravel you could use Guzzle to make your API requests.

If you need to consume the API via a shell script you could use curl and the jq command-line tool to parse the output.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
