Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Mock heavy tests
I'd say that without wanting to refactor the code a little bit (maybe moving those HttpClients into a service so that they are easily mocked) your best bet would be to use something like WireMock or MockHttp.

Integration tests without API dependencies with ASP.NET Core and WireMock.Net
In this post, I'll explain how to create mocks for HTTP APIs in narrow integration tests using the WireMock.Net library.

Fake apis for testing
Recently was pointed to WireMock for testing purposes.

How do you Unit Test a WebAPI? What do you test?
I use WireMock (@ Java) to start a local webserver alongside the tests, this webserver will provide ‘real’ responses to the client. Here’s the C# equivalent: https://github.com/WireMock-Net/WireMock.Net

How do I mock the response from my authentication server for client integration tests?
You could try out WireMock.Net: https://github.com/WireMock-Net/WireMock.Net/wiki/Using-WireMock-in-UnitTests

The only way to go fast, is to go well (TDD from Factorio)
Use WireMock to mock responses from the endpoint that FooClient interacts with. This lets you exercise all of the code contained in FooClient in a realistic way, without using mocks, but still get the different responses you expect.

Building a RESTful API with Node.js and Express
Use tools like Postman or Insomnia to test the API endpoints and ensure they behave as expected.

We will be performing all of the authentication requests manually, however for testing purposes, you might want to use an API testing tool such as Postman or Insomnia.

Local automation
For a very long time, the go-to tool was curl. Great, always available command line tool. Unfortunately, there is one small issue. It’s hard to keep requests and collect them in collections, it’s great for one-time shots or debugging, but for constant working with API could be painful. To solve it, I started working with tools like Postman/Insomnia. Then eh... strange licensing model, or changes which occurred from Kong side click, definitely push me again for some lookup. After checking different very popular tools and those not such well known I decided to use… Ansible. Sounds strange right? Let me explain this decision. For example, look at this code.

Tools that Make Me Productive as a Software Engineer
At first, I used Postman for testing APIs because it had a lot of features. But I switched to Insomnia because it was easier to use and kept everything organized. The big problem with Insomnia was that it deleted all my saved work when it made me create an account to keep using it.

Different Levels of Project Documentation
Often used for cases where a project exposes a REST or other type of API service. Open API is a popular method of documenting such API services. It can also be used along side tools such as Swagger Codegen to produce boilerplate code for API interaction / testing purposes. There may also be support files for popular API testing tools such as Postman or Insomnia. This makes it easier at a glance to see what data is coming back from a call so the user knows how to handle parsing the data.

Web scraping in 10 mins
Well, there is this website that I have been trying to scrape for a few days now. I had tried everything from scrapy splash on docker to almost giving up because I read somewhere that it was JavaScript rendered. Since the source code from the inspect part of the developer tools was different from the source code from the view-source:https//... on the same developer tools.How could this be possible? Then I kept searching on internet and found this concept; where you can mimic web-browsers requests from a server using an API program,and it worked magically. Some of the API programs are postman and insomnia. I prefer using insomnia for this particular case , feel free to use any other API program of your choice.
