just go to the method, click it, then do CTRL + Q
on it, everything that belongs to this method, will be shown.

Curl::Make()

->url('URL_GOES_HERE')
->header(['AUTHENTICATION_ARRAY_GOES_HERE'])
->params(['PARAMS_ARRAY_GOES_HERE'])
->execute();

use OTIFSolutions\CurlHandler\Curl;
Curl::Make()

->url('URL_GOES_HERE')
->header(['AUTHENTICATION_ARRAY_GOES_HERE'])

->params(['PARAMS_ARRAY_GOES_HERE'])
->execute();

If you call any method that does not belong to the OTIFSolutions\CurlHandler\Curl::class
or give any parameter that it does not understand, then you will see the error messages.
