About:
Resty is a command-line HTTP client designed for interacting with RESTful APIs. It simplifies making HTTP requests and processing responses directly from the terminal or shell scripts. Its primary value is enabling easy testing and automation of API interactions within command-line pipelines.
Key Features:
  • Simple CLI syntax for common HTTP methods
  • Supports custom headers and request bodies
  • Parses and displays JSON responses
  • Designed for shell scripting integration
Use Cases:
  • Quickly testing API endpoints during development
  • Automating API calls in CI/CD pipelines
  • Fetching data for shell scripts
Alternatives:
  • curl – More powerful and ubiquitous, but requires more flags for JSON handling
  • httpie – User-friendly alternative with colorized output and syntax
  • wget – Primarily for file downloads, not optimized for API interaction
