Just use curl dammit!
This has been solved since 1999. Read the manual.
The deeper I get into Linux, the more I feel exactly this about most software in general. We just love reinventing the wheel, don’t we?
-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
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.
