    Not quite the right way of thinking about it.

    curl is a program that can be used from a terminal.

    Servers are often interacted with via URLs.

    curl is just one of many tools for interacting with them.

    If you have access to a terminal with curl installed I would suggest running man curl and having a read of the output.

    Alternatively it can be read here:
