Hoppscotch

Open Source API Development Ecosystem

Hoppscotch is a lightweight, web-based API development suite.

It was built from the ground up with ease of use and accessibility in mind providing all the functionality needed for API developers with minimalist, unobtrusive UI.

Notes:

• This template comes with Email based authentication by default, the first user to log in will be created as an admin. If you wish to change login methods please do that via the admin interface.

• Communication to Postgres is done exclusively over the private network and the database is not exposed externally in any way by default, if you want to enable access from outside of the private network you can go to the databases settings to enable TCP proxying and enter the internal port (5432) the TCP proxy can be again removed at any point to close off external access.

I highly recommend you take a look at the Hoppscotch Documentation to learn more about the app.

Features

❤️ Lightweight: Crafted with minimalistic UI design.

⚡️ Fast: Send requests and get responses in real time.

🗄️ HTTP Methods: Request methods define the type of action you are requesting to be performed.

• GET － Requests retrieve resource information
• POST － The server creates a new entry in a database
• PUT － Updates an existing resource
• PATCH － Very similar to PUT but makes a partial update on a resource
• DELETE － Deletes resource or related component
• HEAD － Retrieve response headers identical to those of a GET request, but without the response body.
• CONNECT － Establishes a tunnel to the server identified by the target resource
• OPTIONS － Describe the communication options for the target resource
• TRACE － Performs a message loop-back test along the path to the target resource
• custom － Some APIs use custom request methods such as LIST. Type in your custom methods.

Use-cases

---

• By storing a value in a variable, you can reference it throughout your request section
• If you need to update the value, you only have to change it in one place
• Using variables increases your ability to work efficiently and minimizes the likelihood of error

---

• Entries are separated by newline
• Keys and values are separated by :
• Prepend # to any row you want to add but keep disabled

🎛️ Admin dashboard: Manage your team and invite members.
