Console.REST

Slack Status

Console.REST is a converter service for API description formats and HTTP clients, such as Swagger, RAML, Curl, Postman, and Paw.

This project is open-source, and can be used in multiple ways:

  • as a client-side web service, at https://console.rest/.
  • as a button present on the documentation of API providers.
  • as a Chrome extension for users to use on popular API documentations, based on apis.guru (Still in development).
  • as a JS library that allows users to programmatically convert formats.

Dependencies

Console.REST uses the open-source library API-Flow to convert between formats. As a standalone, API-Flow is available as a webworker, a web library, and a node module.

Button

Console.REST provides API providers with 2 snippets to plug into their API docs to allow their users to download them in their preferred format:

  • An HTML/JS Snippet for web documentation, that injects itself in the context of the page to give a seamless experience to the user.
  • A Markdown Snippet for github documentation, that uses Console.REST as a Service.

The button looks like this

Run API With...

You can read more about how to use the button in your API documentation in the wiki.

URL Scheme

Console.REST exposes a simple API that allows anyone to open it with a file to convert. You can find more information on the API in the wiki.

JS Library

A stripped down version of Console.REST without any of the visuals is also available for users and API providers that want to integrate the functionalities of Console.REST and API-Flow even further into their projects.

You can read more about the API of the JS library in the wiki.

Chrome Extension (Still in development)

Some API providers may have a Swagger/RAML/etc. but may not have included Console.REST as a Button in their API docs. Thanks to the awesome work of the guys at apis.guru, the extension can offer the functionalities of Console.REST as a button even on pages that don't have the button.
