PyManCLI

A CLI made it on Python to test APIs

It arose out of the need to test my own projects without installing other software for the same purpose.

Status

• Allowed methods GET, POST, PUT and DELETE.
• Working on add custom params to PUT and DELETE methods.

Implemented packages

• click
• requests
• json

The click package allows to generate the cli in a simple way by using decorators the requests package is implemented to make the requests and get the responses for each request
