Answer from AI
Common tools used for sending REST requests include:
- curl — a command-line, versatile and powerful tool for HTTP requests.
- Postman — a graphical client with a user-friendly interface for creating, testing, and automating API requests.
- Insomnia — similar to Postman, convenient for working with REST and GraphQL.
- HTTPie — a user-friendly CLI tool with more readable syntax than curl.
- Swagger UI / Swagger Editor — for testing APIs if an OpenAPI specification is available.
Example of a request using curl:
curl -X GET https://api.example.com/users/123 -H "Authorization: Bearer token"
