What to expect from an ideal product

1. Skip the OAuth headache by letting xurl handle all the token management and authentication flows automatically when you make requests to X API endpoints
2. Store your X API credentials once in a simple YAML file and reuse them across different terminal sessions without having to set up auth each time
3. Run multiple X API projects from the same machine by managing separate authentication configs for each app or client integration
4. Use familiar curl-style syntax in your bash scripts while xurl takes care of signing requests and refreshing tokens behind the scenes
5. Make direct API calls from command line or automation scripts without writing custom OAuth code or dealing with complex token refresh logic
