Explore SharePoint REST API with Chrome F12 cURL (bash) to Postman

Wanted to create demo for how to leverage F12 tools to capture SharePoint Online REST api calls and replay into REST Postman.   Allows adjustment of HTTP headers, inspecting output, and execute test API calls.  Postman provides benefits of storing history, export data, and fine tuning the API headers.

Leveraging Chrome F12 enables us to quickly create a valid HTTP POST with correct authentication HTTP  headers, cookies, and endpoint URL.  Cheers.
