Ask HN: What you use for quick API checks?

1•igtumt•1h ago
I often find myself needing to quickly check an API response — just to see what it returns or grab a specific field.

For more complex stuff, tools like Postman are great, but for quick checks they sometimes feel a bit heavy. On the other hand, using curl or writing a quick script also breaks the flow a bit.

Curious what others here use for this kind of “quick inspection” workflow.

Do you have a go-to tool or habit for this?
