For playing with APIs, you have a lot of choices. I tend to use one of:

  • curl
  • the Python requests library
  • a workbench of sorts like Postman or Paw

To learn an API though, it's often most convenient to snoop something else using it. If there's a web app that interfaces with it, then browser developer tools are great. I snoop on Cappuccino all the time like that. ?
