restme

Restme is an easy way to execute requests in terminal. Instead of use the classic curl, why don't use a simpler cli?

Version

1.0.9

Installation

$ [sudo] npm i -g restme

Try it now! (with chuck norris API :P)

$ restme http://api.icndb.com/jokes/random

Awesome uh?

Simple example

$ restme https://someurl.com

Simple example, without protocol (default is http://)

$ restme someurl.com

Using convenience -j or --json option to auto include Accept: application/json

$ restme https://someurl.com/post/1 -j

Raw mode! If you don't want pretty json responses

$ restme https://someurl.com -r [or --raw]

Use other request method (default is GET)

$ restme DELETE https://someurl.com/post/1

Adding some headers

$ restme https://someurl.com/post/1 -H "Accept: application/json, X-Token: XXXXXXXXXX" [or --header]

Posting serialized data

$ restme POST https://someurl.com/post/1 -f "name=foo&password=bar"[or --form]

Posting JSON data

$ restme POST https://someurl.com/post/1 -d '{"name":"foo", "password": "bar" }'[or --data]

Using basic auth

$ restme https://someurl.com/auth -a user@password [or --auth]

Only returns the headers (curl -I equivalent)

$ restme https://www.someurl.com -I

Only returns the body

$ restme https://www.someurl.com -B

Akamai debug mode!

$ restme https://www.someurl.com --akamai

Timeout to requests

$ restme https://www.someurl.com -m 2 [or --max-time]

Putting all together

$ restme https://someurl.com.br -j -H "X-Token: XXXXXXXXX" -r -a user@password

Still want to help?

$ restme -h [--help]
