[SOLVED] What does -d stand for in curl request?

Issue

I am trying to send this HTTP request in Postman application:

curl -v https://api.someurl.com/z1/lists \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: authorization" \
  -d '{ "list_id": "DXVBDAD" }'

Any body knows what -d stands for? and where should I put it in Postman?

Solution

The documentation says this:

(HTTP) Sends the specified data in a POST request to the HTTP server[...]

So this will be the body of your POST request. In Postman you have to put it into the 'body' field. There select 'raw' and then select 'application/json'. Because that's the Content-Type of your request, specified with -H.
