a better looking, colorful Curl alternative, perfect for testing REST APIs
to install, run the following command
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0verread/peek/main/install.sh | bash
or, to install manually
git clone https://github.com/0verread/peek
cd peek
go install
peek <url>
example:
peek jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1
I test all the rest apis using curl. lately, I found curl is not being enough. Make no mistake, Curl is still super simple yet powerful tool and peek is not a replacement of Curl. Peek is for people like me who don't use Postman like heavy bloated software to test simple rest apis, yet want something simple and powerful like Curl with all the feature Curl is missing for testing rest apis. I thought of building peek for myself but later, decided to turn it into fully CLI tool.
