Just use curl dammit!
-Curl “https://justuse.org/curl/”
-Returns a ton of html stuff
Can’t even comply with their own argument.
Follow redirects? curl -L
Follow redirects? curl -L
still gives HTML
Yeah? That’s what the response is. What do you expect?
I think they’re point is that curl is great but then you have to have a way to render it to know if it’s correct. With apis you can use jq, but yeah a dump of html isn’t really useful to humans
Yeah but we’re talking about API tools, not web browsers. People are using postman to see JSON, XML, or whatever horrible format the devs on the other side chose to use, not to render HTML graphically. If you query an HTML page using curl, you should get the HTML back, I don’t see what’s the problem
Oh. Fair enough. The intent for curl is definitely to display the HTML as it’s whole point.
Anyways.
curl -L -o “/tmp/your.html” https://justuse.org/curl && librewolf “/tmp/your.html”
librewolf is overkill I was expecting to hear something like links2
I tried the suggestion and saw that the original complaint persisted.
I didn’t think anything to be honest.

here ya go.
curl cheat.sh/curl
It would be fun to create a CURL converter. Just simple aliases or conversion tool.
I just looked it up, looks like there may be something like it here: https://github.com/christianhelle/curlgenerator
I like the look of this: https://www.createopenapi.com/
As much as I think that’s correct a lot of the time, something like Bruno has value too. Implementing complicated auth for an annoying service once and reusing it across several pre-written requests, useful features like a GUI and history to see prior responses from an endpoint, being able to share the “collection” in the repo as examples/developer tools that’s maintained alongside the code, writing docs with each request to explain its usage, this stuff does add value that isn’t trivial to do with curl.
I still use curl 🥹
Ok OP, just tell us what API tool you’re building.
I thought no one would ask :) just open sourced it a few weeks ago. But I promise I will never pay someone to praise it pretending to be a developer.
As a developer who painstakingly crafts HTTP requests all day, I love Voiden! Voiden saves me so much time with its awesome turbo request encabulator feature.

wow wow thanks! please spread the word!
I installed it yesterday, and the biggest issue I’m having is envisioning what a mature project would look like in it. I have not gone looking for examples like that, but if you know of any, i’d love to see some.
hey - thats great :) Happy you downloaded it :) curious to hear your feedback - I will send you a discord link as a message so its not seen as spamming.
Let me see if I understand your question: you mean how Voiden would look when its more mature?
What I am most excited about is that Voiden already does a few things differently from most API tools. Reusable blocks, plain-text everything, and the ability to go from testing to docs to publishing from a single source are already working and shaping how teams can work in a more consistent way.
There is still a lot ahead (for example I want to see what kind of plugins people come up with for the tool, or how AI will eventually play a bigger role) but the principles of Voiden (reusability, composability, plain text, collaboration through git, single source of truth etc.) are the ideas I believe will define and set a new tone/standard of how API tools should be.
No, what I’m looking for is an example of a project in Voiden that is mature. As-in, a project that a team has been collaborating on for a while.
So how does a team structure their project in Voiden efficiently.
Same thing with every single tool. 90% of posts have hidden promotion. If not direct, then in the comments OP will “recommend”. If not in the comments - they are playing long game and wait to gain trust.
