cURL (https://curl.se/) is one of my favorite tools when working with REST APIs. The use of this tool is found in almost all scripts.
With it, you can test your HTTP handlers and even write example requests and responses in the service documentation. Of course, there are other tools, such as HTTPie (https://httpie.org/), xh (https://github.com/ducaale/xh) and others.

People are getting worried over the state of #httpie

State of the project · Issue #1661 · httpie/cli

I am just wondering what's the state of the project? I see the last commit was 9 months ago and latest release almost a year ago.

Bummer, one of my favorite "GUI Api Client" Tools #HTTPie seems to be abandoned :(

HTTPie – API testing client that flows with you

Making APIs simple and intuitive for those building the tools of our time.

If your use case involves sending complex JSON objects as part of the request body, HTTPie can help you build them right from your terminal.

Nested JSON - HTTPie 3.2.4 (latest) docs

If your use case involves sending complex JSON objects as part of the request body, HTTPie can help you build them right from your terminal. You still use the existing data field operators (=/:=) but instead of specifying a top-level field name (like key=value), you specify a path declaration. This tells HTTPie where and how to put the given value inside an object.

Just found out that #httpie desktop edition had a new release.

The tool is quite elegant and does give uses outside of #hurl. 😁 Especially when I want something like API definitions preloaded for discovering what can be done. 😉

Da krampfe ich mich paar Stunden ab um aus einem Script über die #BlueSky #API mittels #cURL zu posten um dann entnervt #httpie auszuprobieren und zack nach 2 Minuten fertig 😜

#TIL #HTTPie is not just an open source CLI program, they’re also working on a desktop client, and obviously even some cloud services too.

Off-Topic: I was using #Postman for a longer time, for testing #REST APIs. It's great but I was looking for something to use in tmux and terminals. After experimenting with curl | jq for a few days – what works really great but it's not very intuitive in my opinion – I've found #httpie and used it for some days of this week. I like it but it's also somehow a little bit sluggish. At least that is my impression. Today I've discovered #xh and I'm very happy: https://github.com/ducaale/xh
