  • ht

    Friendly and fast tool for sending HTTP requests

  • rural

    I took a stab at something like this a few years back (https://github.com/saghm/rural), but yours is much fuller-featured. I'll definitely try this out soon!

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • bat

    Go implement CLI, cURL-like tool for humans (by astaxie)

    Thanks. I have previously used bat but it looks dead.

    https://github.com/astaxie/bat

  • libcurl

    A command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET, TFTP, WS and WSS. libcurl offers a myriad of powerful features

    Which could possibly use Hyper under the hood :-P

  • bat

    A cat(1) clone with wings.

    Not to be mixed with the Rust version of `cat` (but with wings): https://github.com/sharkdp/bat/

  • rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

    This looks like something to watch out for: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/62569

    Basically Rust ignores SIGPIPE, so if you don't use write!() or handle SIGPIPE yourself, large amounts of data going through a shell pipe can result in a panic.

    I wonder how many Rust CLI tools have the issue.

  • 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

    And use http-prompt, because it's awesome: https://github.com/httpie/http-prompt

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
