Posting explains from tools (and not web browsers)

This article explains how to programmatically post SQL explain plans to explain.depesz.com using curl and retrieve the delete key and URLs in JSON format. It addresses a user's request for extracting the delete URL when plans are submitted via command-line tools instead of a web browser. The solution involves adding an 'Accept: application/json' header to get a JSON response containing the delete key, plan ID, and URLs for deleting and viewing the plan. This is useful for developers automating plan sharing and cleanup.
