verb VS prestige

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've not used it, but have heard of Prestige (https://github.com/sharat87/prestige). It bills itself as "A text-based HTTP client in the browser. An interface-less Postman." I hope that helps!

Shameless plug: There's also Prestige at https://prestigemad.com, which is very similar but works right in the browser. You can save your files as Gists as well. Templating with variables is also supported with `${}` syntax, like Javascript's template strings.

But gRPC support is not built yet. It's on the roadmap.

There's also https://prestigemad.com, a text based API testing tool, like Postman. I'm the developer behind it and is open source at https://github.com/sharat87/prestige.

Hey! I did the same thing, rewrite httpbin in Go, and put it up on https://httpbun.com. I did it because I needed a fast endpoint like httpbin, with a few extras, and with working redirect endpoints. I needed this for testing Prestige. (Sorry for inserting a shameless plug in here, but httpbun and httphub are just so close to each other I couldn't shut up 🙈).

Still early days at https://prestigemad.com (recently discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27412445)

- Backend is a Django project, database is PostgreSQL.

- Frontend powered by Mithril.js and the editor by CodeMirror.

- Hosted on a $5 box on EC2.

- GoatCounter for analytics.

- CloudFlare for DNS, NameCheap for domain.

Also https://httpbun.com

- Backend is a vanilla Go project.

- Frontend is plain HTML and CSS, I don't recall it having any JS at all.

- Hosted on the same $5 box on EC2.

- No analytics (yet).

- CloudFlare for DNS, NameCheap for domain.

It is refreshing to see how much I can squeeze out of a $5 box. I don't intend to stay with EC2 for long, but when its cheap, I'd rather spend my time improving Prestige.
