Hello API

👋 Hey Product Hunt community! We used to hate testing APIs. Signing up on third-party tools 🧑‍🚀, navigating our way through their cluttered interfaces, or continuously copy-pasting cURL commands: ugh. All we wanted was a really simple way to explore and test APIs, but kept getting caught up in all the setup and overhead. That's why we created Hello API: a lightweight, no-nonsense API playground that lets everyone test APIs right from their browser. No account is needed for the end user. With Hello API, you will add your API endpoints in seconds, publish the collection, and share the link so users can interact with your API in no time ⏳. But that was not enough for us. We then realized Hello API could solve another big pain point: how to onboard a new user into using your API. By publishing your API collection into Hello API, sharing one link gives your users instant access to an interactive playground. They can instantly start understanding what your API can do, trying endpoints, and viewing real responses, transforming the onboarding experience from passive reading to active learning 🚀. We've also packed Hello API with super-handy features such as: • 🏎️ Customizable request settings • ♻️ Support for environment variables • 🔗 Shareable links to specific endpoints All of this is wrapped up in an interface that is fast, clean, and gets out of your way. No more fumbling through unwieldy platforms or juggling accounts. Hello API makes onboarding and API testing smooth and simple. We would love for you to give it a shot if you're tired of the same old headaches with API testing. Let us know what you think! 😍

Just gave Hello API a try, and wow—it’s super easy to use! Took me only a few minutes to add my API endpoints, publish them, and share a link. Users can test the API right from their browser, no sign-up needed! The interface is so clean and simple, way better than the usual cluttered tools. Plus, onboarding new users is a breeze—they can jump in, try out the API, and see real responses right away. With cool features like customizable request settings, environment variable support, and shareable links, Hello API seriously takes the pain out of API testing. Definitely worth checking out!

hey @zzev, kudos for making the API testing less painful. seems like hello API could soon become a dev's best friend, eager to give it a whirl.

It ensures your API is both highly visible and incredibly easy to navigate for developers.

@zzev, this is a fantastic leap forward for simplifying API testing and onboarding! 🎉 The ability to create a public, interactive playground for APIs directly in the browser is a game-changer. The focus on reducing the clutter and eliminating the need for user accounts makes it super accessible for developers and non-developers alike. I especially love the shareable links and environment variable support—features that really enhance collaboration and streamline the testing process. Can't wait to see how Hello API transforms the way teams approach API documentation and testing. Kudos on launching such an intuitive and powerful tool! 🚀

Hey Zeta, How does it handle authentication for protected endpoints? Are there any features for mocking responses or simulating different scenarios? Congrats on the launch!

very nice! I like your demo 💪🏼
