Initially, it is recommended to solve this challenge using curl. Afterward, you can write a snippet of code in your favorite language to automate the task. This will help you build a collection of reusable scripts for future use.

The video transcript provides a step-by-step guide on how to execute this task using the terminal. It emphasizes the importance of correctly encoding special characters like less than (<) and greater than (>) in the XML. By following the instructions and using curl, you will be able to successfully complete the lab and obtain the key for the challenge.
