Sharing an internal tool that accelerated my development work 10-fold, especially with API debugging. Thought fellow developers here might find it useful. As a developer, I often have trouble reproducing errors at the client end. https://intercept.rest lets me debug and monitor API requests and responses. It is similar to the Network tab in Chrome Developer Tools but works for any API: mobile apps, webhooks, frontend etc. After I shared it with a close circle of friends, they found it incredibly useful and even found new use cases, I never imagined. Been a long time lurker here and…

tl;dr we at Escape (YC W23), we scanned 5651+ public APIs on the internet with our in house feedback driven API exploration tech, and ranked them using security, performance, reliability, and design criteria. The results are public on https://apirank.dev. You can request that we index your own API to the list for free and see how it compares to others. Why we did that? During a YC meetup I spoke with a fellow founder that told me how hard it was to pick the right external APIs to use within your own projects. I realized that most of what we build relies on public APIs from external…

I recently wanted to test how a part of a web app responded to a 502 HTTP status code from a remote site from which it was pulling data. When I came to test it, the remote site was working fine, but I still wanted the 502. So I created statuscoder, just append your desired status code to the URL and it'll respond with that code. http://statuscoder.com It's my first single-use project and I like its simplicity - it does one job and (hopefully) does it well. Is there anything else that you'd want to see it do?

Hey HN, I built uncurl.dev to scratch my own itch: I kept getting curl commands in API docs, bug reports, or Slack messages and wanted a quick way to visualize, run, and debug them without firing up Postman or writing code to dissect them. It was also sometimes painful to create a test page specifically for non-tech users to consume an API. I originally vibe-coded this over a weekend just to make it easier for myself to debug API requests shared as curl commands. It slowly grew into something I found surprisingly useful in my workflow, so I decided to clean it up and share it. uncurl.dev…

Hey there HN! I just wrapped up an all-day documentation spree for Instant API, a JavaScript framework for easily building web APIs that implements type safety at the HTTP interface. It uses a function-as-a-service approach combined with a slightly modified JSDoc spec to automatically enforce parameter and schema validation before HTTP requests make it through to your code. You just write comments above your endpoint functions and voila, enforced type safety contracts between your API endpoints and your developers. OpenAPI specifications are generated automatically as a byproduct of simply…
