Help with Lemmy API (mander.xyz)

I would like to be able to use the command line (curl) to get a list of communities I am currently subscribed to.

I know that there is a full-blown API, but it only briefly covers what it is possible with simple a curl request, and most of it seems to refer to an API that runs in javascript (which seems excessively complex for what I want to do?)

A simple curl request like this seems to work,

curl "https://mander.xyz/api/v3/community/list" | jq

But I wouldn't know how to make it list only communities that I subscribe to? Does anyone know more?

Rofl I don't know why someone downvoted you, this was nice information thanks.

I like to add that the keys must be wrapped in double quotes to be parsed as proper JSON.

# POST to login endpoint
curl -v --data '{"username_or_email": "username", "password": "password"}' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' https://example.com/api/v3/user/login

You are totally right, seems like I forgot them ^^'
