-Curl requires us to add a few extra parameters. `-X GET` instructs curl to us a HTTP GET request. `-s` suppresses
-a progress bar. In the command below we pipe the contents of curl into JQ for JSON formatting. JQ requires a filter to function.
-We are using the simplest filter `"."` which matches all JSON. `user1@mailsac` is a popular address and receives lots of email.
-JQ will only show the first JSON object with the filter `".[0]"`
+Curl requires us to add a single parameter for a GET request. `-H` instructs curl to add an HTTP header.
