Depth resolution: RET API testing value in modern development

REST (Representative State Transport) has become modern Web Standard architecture style of services. Whether you develop mobile application backends, third-party integration or microservices, a powerful RET API Testers are essential tools to increase the efficiency of development and ensure the stability of interfaces.

Common RET request method and its application

GET： Access to resources. For example, to extract user information or article lists. Parameters are usually passed through Query Spring in URLs.
POST： Create new resources. Used often for user registration, posting of dynamic or uploading documents. Data stored in Request Body.
PUT： Complete update of resources. Replace the existing resources on the server with the new elements contained in the request.
PATCH： Locally updated resources. Only modify part of the properties of the resource to be more efficient and more efficient and less efficient than PUT.
DELETE： Delete resource. Data used to clean up obsolete or no longer required.

How to fix the pain in the API connection?

Scenario one: Unsatisfactory environmental configuration. Base URL and Auth Token for development (Local), testing and production (Prod) environment switching Recurrent changes. This tool allows you to quickly modify the requested parameters and verify them in real time, thus avoiding the difficulty of changing the code repeatedly and restarting the project.

Scene 2: Mistakes in the screening process. Many APIs use Bearer Token or custom Header for authentication. If request returns 401 or 403 Error, you can check whether Token is carrying correctly in this tool 's Request Header tab and if there is an error in spelling.

Why our online tester?

Our tools have the following advantages compared to the local installation of large desktop software (e.g. Postman):

on-call: Browser opens the browser to test without registering, login or downloading plugins.
Privacy： The request is entirely initiated by your browser and sensitive API keys and data will not be stored on our server.
Light efficiency: Optimized UI design to make you more responsive when handling simple interface debugging.
