Project mention: go-doudou series 01: How to develop a monolithic RESTful service with go-doudou | dev.to | 2022-01-24When you see Http server is listening on :6060, it means service has been started and we also have a mock server. For example, we can send a request to /user api, to see what will be sent back(I use httpie):
-
(Just want to be specific as possible) I have the virtualenv ready, it's also up in github, the .gitignore file for python is there as well, plus, the requests library for interacting with the REST API. That's it.
-

-
Project mention: theHarvest will not run, it just gives me this instead. Does anyone know how to fix this? | reddit.com/r/Pentesting | 2021-12-29
The error calls to a file that has been through multiple recent revisions. The most likely cause is an issue was introduced.
-
HTTP Prompt
An interactive command-line HTTP and API testing client built on top of HTTPie featuring autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and more. https://twitter.com/httpie

I like the answers that u/NoDadYouShutUp and u/boutiflet gave. I would say at least understanding a little about web API will help you. Knowing/learning how to test them without a UI is helpful as well. OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) helps to test it and helps understand ease of integration with front-ends and other systems. Flask has a couple OpenAPI package options; but, I prefer FastAPI's and Quart's (related to Flask) myself. Though, using requests or httpx make it fairly easy to test your API as well.

Project mention: Best way to run parallel async http requests | reddit.com/r/learnpython | 2021-08-23
I found examples of running parallel async http requests using grequests, but in its GitHub page it recommends using requests-threads or requests-futures instead. Which of them would be the most straightforward tool for optimizing a sequence of GET requests against an API. Case scenario: API endpoint provides paginated responses. With first response, I get the total of itens, which allow me to prepare all the remaining urls. The API allows for 25 simultaneous requests from a single user session (JWT token).
-
urllib3
Python HTTP library with thread-safe connection pooling, file post support, user friendly, and more.
Project mention: Open source package urllib3 raised $15,000 in 2021 | reddit.com/r/programming | 2021-12-30Some context on David Lord's entry, he was our first attempt to pay a community member to contribute a PR and get paid for the contribution. Here's the PR we merged and paid him for: https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/pull/2257

Scout APM
Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

Project mention: Where do fantasy sites get their live stats from? | reddit.com/r/fantasybball | 2021-12-13
I found this so it appears so https://github.com/swar/nba_api although it seems kinda unreliable

httplib2
Small, fast HTTP client library for Python. Features persistent connections, cache, and Google App Engine support. Originally written by Joe Gregorio, now supported by community.
That’s a terrible way to cache a http request. It completely ignores any cache information that the server sends and just blindly stores the result. If you want http caching httplib2 will do it properly.

Project mention: Show HN: Prestige, a text based HTTP client, for working with HTTP APIs | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-06-06
Ah! Yes, thanks for sharing. I should've guessed this existed for Emacs as well. I played around with implementing a similar concept like this in Vim, in 2019 (link: https://github.com/sharat87/roast.vim). Unfortunately, while I love Vim as an editor, I couldn't do a lot of features that I wanted. So I moved to the browser and built Prestige :)
-
Like you, I too created a GraphQL client a while ago. It's interesting to see the different approaches everyone uses!
