A web-based console view to manipulate APIs of an arbitrary website.
MIT License
Provide a web-based console view to manipulate APIs of an arbitrary website.
go get -u github.com/tarao/apiconsole
Be sure that your $GOPATH/bin
is in your $PATH
. To manipulate the
APIs of http://example.com/
for example, run the console server as
the following.
apiconsole --upstream=http://example.com
Now http://localhost:8000/devel/console/
provides a console view for you.
As long as you properly specified the upstream host, the request URL
can simply be an absolute path without an origin part. The console
server will proxy the request to the upstream host for you. Be
careful if you specify a URL starting from the origin part (scheme +
host) and the request host is different from that of the console
server. In this case, the response must come with CORS (
Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header for example) or your browser
blocks the response.
On Firefox, if you have an extension to prettify JSON document, JSON responses are prettified in the console view. Unfortunately, this is not the case for Google Chrome. If none of browser extension prettifier is available, the console view automatically falls back to prettifying by highlight.js.
