To pass multiple headers in a curl request you simply add additional -H or --header to your curl command  Example   Simplified   curl -v -H  header1 val  -H  header2 val  URL    Explanatory   curl -v -H  Connection  keep-alive  -H  Content-Type  application json   https   www example com  Going Further For standard HTTP header fields such as User-Agent  Cookie  Host  there is actually another way to setting them  The curl command offers designated options for setting these header fields   -A  or --user-agent   set  quot User-Agent quot  field  -b  or --cookie   set  quot Cookie quot  field  -e  or --referer   set  quot Referer quot  field  -H  or --header   set  quot Header quot  field  For example  the following two commands are equivalent  Both of them change  quot User-Agent quot  string in the HTTP header        curl -v -H  quot Content-Type  application json quot  -H  quot User-Agent  UserAgentString quot  https   www example com       curl -v -H  quot Content-Type  application json quot  -A  quot UserAgentString quot  https   www example com

Sometimes changing the header is not enough  some sites check the referer as well   curl -v        -H  Host  restapi some-site com         -H  Connection  keep-alive         -H  Accept  text html application xhtml xml application xml q 0 9     q 0 8         -H  Accept-Language  en-GB en-US q 0 8 en q 0 6         -e localhost        -A  Mozilla 5 0  X11  Linux x86 64  AppleWebKit 537 36  KHTML  like Gecko  Chrome 29 0 1547 65 Safari 537 36          http   restapi some-site com getsomething argument value amp argument2 value    In this example the referer  -e or --referer in curl  is  localhost
