Development Tools and Libraries

If you are viewing this, you are using an HTTP Client -- your browser. While some of the APIs can be reached using only a browser, we recommend using a more full featured developer tool that allows HTTP POST. For OAuth2 protected APIs, HTTP POST is essential for security. For some APIs, HTTP POST is essential to the interaction. Below are some HTTP Clients that we have used.

Web-based HTTP Clients

• HackSt
• hurl

Chrome-based HTTP Clients

• Dev HTTP Client
• Advanced REST client
• REST Console
• Postman - REST Client

Firefox-based HTTP Clients

• HttpRequester
• RESTClient

Dedicated HTTP Clients

• cURL (standard tool in *nix)
• RESTClient (a Java GUI)
