RubyMine has a HTTP Client that can be useful to test web APIs.
Just create a .http scratch file an write your request in it.
The request can then be executed with the "Run all requests in File" button above the file.
Some alternatives:
The format for request is like this:
Method Request-URI HTTP-Version
Header-field: Header-value
Request-Body
Some examples:
// A basic get request
GET http://example.com/api/
// A POST with json body
POST http://example.com/api/
Content-Type: application/json
{ "key" : "value" }
It also supports multiple sequential requests, with a JS-API to parse and reuse responses in later requests.
So lets say you need to retrieve an authtoken first and then make your request, you could do:
POST https://example.com/api/auth
Content-Type: application/json
{
"token": "my-secret-token"
}
// Saving a variable
> {%
client.global.set("auth_token", response.body.token);
%}
###
//Accessing a variable
GET https://example.com/api
Authorization: Bearer {{auth_token}}
