[Hurl](https://hurl.dev/) is a command line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format. It is great for quickly testing your API calls. You can learn more about [how to use Hurl](https://www.ayrshare.com/hurl-run-and-test-http-api-requests/) on our blog.

After you are set up, you may use these .hurl files to run your test.

1. Update the var.env with your API Key.
2. Add in `profileKeys` to the requests if you are testing a user profile.
3. Modify the hurl files if you have not linked all the social networks.
