trying to hit a public endpoint that works in the browser(gives json response), But does not in curl.

curl https://yts.lt/api/v2/list_movies.json?query_term=tt11296058

It gives the following message

no matches found: https://yts.lt/api/v2/list_movies.json?query_term=tt11296058

Not sure what could be the issue here, any input would be appreciated.

curl api

It may be due to do with what shell you are using. Try wrapping the URL in single or double quotes as suggested here.

Here is the quote from the above link discussing ZSH.

You need to escape the question mark, otherwise zsh thinks it is a globbing or wildcard character and tries to find files that match it (that's why it says no matches found).
