Simple Solution would be to create a sample postman with above details then follow below steps -

Click on the code icon.
Choose cURL from the drop-down.

There’s your cURL command

Sample curl command -

 curl -X POST \
 https://something.com/endpoint \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -H 'Postman-Token: 1f0fcc007739' \
 -H 'apikey: CSZftBtR0WaN' \
 -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
 -d '{
     "Id": "5de675",
      "xxxxx": "500081"
 }'
