  1. Emacs had something like this long ago (of course it did). https://github.com/pashky/restclient.el I also like httpie but they seem to have gone commercial.

  13. Although I mainly stick with curl or requests due to muscle memory, there's also restclient.el https://github.com/pashky/restclient.el . I imagine having builtin org support is super convenient, thanks for sharing.
    comment by b5n · 2022-10-22 · in Show HN: Restfox – Open source lightweight alternative to Postman

  19. For you Emacsers that haven't heard of it, the alternative to this https://github.com/pashky/restclient.el Super straightforward.

    comment by piranha · 2022-01-14 · in Dealing with APIs, JSON and databases in org-mode

  28. If Postwoman doesn't tickle your fancy, I'd take a look at https://github.com/pashky/restclient.el . (I believe there's a vim equivalent, too.) You can save requests in a simple .http file, and check them into your codebase. Makes…
