verb VS hurl

plz-see: Interactive HTTP client, similar to restclient and verb, but using Elisp instead of a special text-based syntax.

Ah, btw. I just realized, verb's verb-send-request-on-point doesn't always properly work with source blocks. So I pushed a fix, PR is here.

have you checked this https://github.com/federicotdn/verb . Its emacs package and i am able to write and test api's with text files.

Not as usable for testing, but verb.el[1] is a great tool for doing something very similar in org-mode

I've been a long time user of the org-mode code blocks feature—storing runnable code block inline in the document. Something I've recently started using is verb to include HTTP requests in my documents when I'm testing out web APIs.

Looks also interesting, but it doesn't fit my use cases: I need custom functions to grab values/data from other sources (e.g. pocket-reader.el).restclient` is more about having pre-defined HTTP requests (path, headers, payload etc.) in a buffer and a major mode for executing the requests. Pretty much the same what verb offers.

There is also verb.el.

I tried Hurl after Insomnia went the way of Postman. The highlights you list were the strong drivers for testing it out. Where Hurl fell short was composing requests. Example: X.hurl response has authToken. Y.hurl uses authToken. Z.hurl uses authToken. There's no import ability[1], so you've got to use other tooling to copy X.hurl into Y.hurl and Z.hurl.

Ultimately settled on Bruno. It's backed by readable text files[2] as well. The CLI works for scripting. And the GUI is familiar enough that I've managed to convert Postman holdouts at my dayjob.

I haven't used it myself, but maybe something like Hurl? It's not a GUI like Postman though

No, you got what's you write. If you want, you can see the run curl's command, save it in a script and replay it without Hurl. You can check the source code here [1]

You might check out hurl for a RestAPI tool replacement. There is also a vim plugin for it, although I have not used it. Someone already mentioned dadbod (which I think works great on its own), but if you are curious there is also a plugin to add a UI on top of it.

just write a simple frontend on top of https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl

We've a more "classic" changelog in GitHub [1], I see the blog post as an editorial view of the changelog: highlights of main features/changes with some context.

I must say that the name is already taken by another tool language https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl which is a very good idea(similar to httpYac)

That's why we have hurl
