Setup.md
  • Check you have Python installed:
python -V
  • Install Pygments:
[sudo] pip install Pygments
  • Copy json_curl script below and make it executable
  • Use like you would curl:
json_curl -G http://date.jsontest.com/

I like the idea, although it will work only with args without quotes. consider something more sophisticated like

json_curl -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer my_token" -d '{"param": "value"}' http://example.com/api/resources/1/
