Curl-impersonate is a special build of libcurl and cURL HTTP client that impersonates the four major browsers: - Google Chrome - Microsoft Edge - Safari - Firefox Curl-impersonate achieves this by patching TLS and HTTP fingerprints to be identical to that of one of these real browsers.

Unlike other HTTP clients curl-impersonate can bypass TSL and HTTP fingerprinting and detection techniques though it does not implement anything for Javascript fingerprint or bypass.

    ->sendsJson()
    ->body(json_encode($data))
    ->send();
