sariina / mina

Imitates HTTP requests and responses of a chosen host

Mina

Mina saves API server responses to disk and serves them with its own HTTP server. Some use cases include:

• working with the API server when you or the server is offline
• each request costs money
• API server forces rate limits
• etc.

Install

go get -u github.com/sariina/mina

Example

Start a mina server for Github API on port 8080:

mina -addr=:8080 -target=https://api.github.com

In your client/broweser/app, instead of sending a request to

https://api.github.com/users/sariina

send it to

http://localhost:8080/users/sariina

Voila, the same response. The response is saved to your disk. Your app will think that you are using Github API even when you are offline.
