What is Ain?

Ain is a terminal HTTP API client. It's an alternative to postman, paw or insomnia. It was built to enable scripting of input and further processing of output via pipes. It targets users who work with many API:s using a simple file format. It uses curl, wget or httpie to make the actual calls.

Here's what you get: Flexible organization of API:s using files and folders. Use shell-scripts and executables for common tasks. Put things that change in environment variables or .env-files. Share the resulting curl, wget or httpie command-line. Pipe the API output for further processing. Tries hard to be helpful when there are errors.
