Researching Mule and CURL

I have never used MuleSoft’s Anypoint Studio before. I need to use Mule to get data from a web services API (uses CURL on Linux/Windows to pass credentials etcetera) and then insert into a MySQL database.

Here are a few links I came up with in my researching this (to be continued...) My only source is StackOverflow.

Cloud Skills: AWS / Azure / GCP
Operating Systems: Linux / Windows

Lots to learn if you're coming from a traditional IT infrastructure background!
