Whurl

An API Playground. This code is deployed and available for public use.

• Great for evaluating an API
• Useful for doing story acceptance when developing an API
• Gives pretty-printed output and the browser saves your input making it easy to reuse

Usage

Deployed on Heroku

Goals

• Use HTTPS for all requests, assume all users are passing sensitive data
• Store as little as possible, assume all users want privacy
• Provide a usable tool for working with APIs
• Further the use of Whurl through viral "whurls" - the urls that represent an API request
• Prevent abuse - users should not be able to use Whurl as a proxy for a DoS attack or similar

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
