💖 NAME 💖

httparty — query web services and examine the resulting output ✨

okay bestie so real quick: this is the User Commands girlie, manual page HTTPARTY(1), and she is literally here to let you talk to web services from your terminal and then stare at what comes back 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

httparty is a command-line tool to query web services and examine the resulting output 💅

By default it will output the response as a pretty-printed Ruby object — which is so useful for grokking the structure of output, no cap, it's giving "I finally understand this API" energy 🧚

This can also be overridden to output formatted XML or JSON. Obsessed with the options honestly 🌈

🎀 USAGE 🎀

httparty [options] [url]

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -f, --format [FORMAT] — Output format to use instead of pretty-print ruby: plain, csv, json or xml 💫
  • -a, --action [ACTION] — HTTP action: get (default), post, put, delete, head, or options 🔥
  • -d, --data [BODY] — Data to put in request body (prefix with '@' for file) 📦
  • -H, --header [NAME:VALUE] — Additional HTTP headers in NAME:VALUE form 💌
  • -v, --verbose — If set, print verbose output 👀
  • -u, --user [CREDS] — Use basic authentication. Value should be user:password 🔐
  • -r, --response-code — Command fails if response code >= 400 😭
  • -h, --help — Show help documentation 🫶
  • --version — Show HTTParty version 🏷️
