GUI frontend for cURL for testing an API [closed]

Answer 1

Insomnia is a beautiful desktop application for Windows, Mac and Linux for debugging restful APIs (my personal favourite)

Postman is a Chrome extension for API testing and doing custom http requests. You can save requests for later use, setup different environments (staging, deployment) and collaborate and share requests with others on your team.

HttpRequester for Firefox is similar to Postman.

Answer 2

Found a useful (free) web tool for this that now exists!

https://curlbuilder.com/

Answer 3

I like RESTclient. It doesn't format HTML, though (I assume Poster does), so if you get a 500 error you get to dredge through the return text yourself.

Answer 4

Paw for OS X is pretty nice. $29.99 as of this writing.

Answer 5

Out of all the Firefox extensions I tried, HttpRequester is the best tool for me. It is very clear and doesn't lack a feature.

For Chrome, I would recommend Advanced REST client or Postman.

Answer 6

Use Poster with Firefox.
