APICLI

APICLI is a command-line interface tool designed to interact with Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). It allows developers and system administrators to send requests to APIs and process their responses directly from a terminal or script. This can be useful for testing API endpoints, automating tasks that involve API calls, or integrating API functionalities into larger workflows.

The primary function of APICLI is to abstract the complexities of making HTTP requests. Users can specify the HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.), the target URL, headers, and request bodies through simple command-line arguments. APICLI then constructs and sends the request to the specified API.

Upon receiving a response from the API, APICLI typically displays the status code and the response body in a human-readable format. Many versions or implementations of APICLI also offer features such as response parsing, data filtering, and saving responses to files. This versatility makes it a valuable tool for anyone who needs to work with APIs programmatically without writing full-fledged client applications. Its ease of use and integration capabilities contribute to its adoption in various development and operational environments.
