Where is API tooling lacking ? (lemmy.world)

The default API tooling that comes to your mind is Postman.

Postman is cloud based - the other offline alternatives are on their way to enshittification.

Is there any solution to the problem or we should all default to curl.

It's been downloaded over 20 billion times. It supports 25+ protocols. It's in cars, refrigerators, TV sets, routers, printers, phones, and every goddamn server on the planet.

Everything except my random podman container I need to test something on, but for some reason will have wget lmao.

Also a good time to mention you can use Ctrl+x Ctrl+e to edit your multi line commands in your default terminal editor so you can keep a clean, line separated command which is easy to read and follow.

Is your container using BusyBox? if so, then it's not even real wget, it's just the disgusting awful busybox version.

God I hate BusyBox.

Okey, Ctrl+x Ctrl+e is super cool. I did not know about that! Thanks!
