Then, in another terminal window, we use curl to hit the endpoint:
Use tools like Postman or Insomnia to test the API endpoints and ensure they behave as expected.

Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client library. It’s a simple and effective solution for sending HTTP requests and managing HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.0 responses. This versatile tool excels in several areas, allowing developers to build query strings quickly, send POST requests, upload JSON data, and handle other HTTP-related tasks. Moreover, Guzzle facilitates both synchronous and asynchronous request handling, providing flexibility for different scenarios.
Slightly related, but I've also been working on and off for a few years on my own Type 1 Diabetes management solution (https://github.com/algao1/iv3).
I haven't had time to work on it recently, but it uses ntfy (https://ntfy.sh/) to send alerts and such.
I was thinking of eventually incorporating some kind of automatic remedial solution eventually to help keep my glucose in range, but haven't had any time to look into it yet.
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.

Simple way would be to add a “curl” options, looks like you’d just need to write up a method that matches this Request interface [0] to some curl command substrings you mash together.
Problem is of course: the headers and options are all going to be included. You could make it so it organizes them better though, maybe indenting and grouping like-options together so it’s easier to remove stuff.

Project mention: Show HN: ScaleSocket – Turn any script into a multiplayer WebSocket server | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-20It's similar to running netcat in server mode, wrapping a script. It's even closer to doing that using websocat [1], whereby one does not have to do the websocket header juggling.
The main difference is that while netcat or websocat will spawn a new process for each connecting client, ScaleSocket has a concept of rooms (channels). For a room, a process is spawned once only. All clients connecting to the same room are routed to the same process. This is not straight forward to do using the forementioned tools.
There's a small comparison page [2] where I have mentioned some alternative tools.

curl is fantastic. There's also HTTPStat which provides a waterfall visualization on top of curl timings: https://github.com/reorx/httpstat
There's also Skytrace (made by yours truly), which provides timing info as a waterfall visualization inspired by HTTPStat + lots more (syntax highlighting for responses, built-in JMESPath support, command-line assertions and checks etc) - https://github.com/artilleryio/artillery/tree/main/packages/...
I use Go. You can run scripts with go run directly, and this package makes shell tasks easy: https://github.com/bitfield/script
Project mention: Recent 'MFA Bombing' Attacks Targeting Apple Users | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-27> us[e] Akamai to block scraping
Would https://github.com/lwthiker/curl-impersonate help? Haven’t tried with Akamai, but did help with another widely used CDN that shall remain unnamed (but has successfully infused me with burning hate for their products after a couple of years’ worth of using an always-on VPN to bypass Internet censorship and/or a slightly unusual browser).
There are others, but continue practicing with this. If you like, read https://github.com/rs/curlie codebase 😊
After registering a Twitter App, make sure to enable Read/Write permissions in the App settings. Create an .env file in the root of the project based on .env.example. We can use this data in our file with an object like this:
curl_cffi – A http client that can impersonate browser tls/ja3/http2 fingerprints
