A lightning-fast, beautiful CLI tool to hit API endpoints and format responses.

Stop reading massive, uncolored, deeply nested JSON blocks from curl. api-ping instantly hits your target API and prints out a beautifully syntax-highlighted, indented response body, along with accurate response timings and color-coded status badges.

• 🚀 Instant: Uses native Node.js fetching for zero-overhead networking.
• 🎨 Beautiful Output: Recursively formats and syntax-highlights JSON using picocolors.
• ⏱️ Network Timing: Measures high-resolution request duration (e.g. 24ms).
• 🚥 Status Badges: Clean, color-coded HTTP status badges (Green 200, Red 404, etc.).

Simply run it anywhere via npx:

npx @dinakars777/api-ping https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1

• Make a POST request with a body:

npx @dinakars777/api-ping https://api.example.com/data -X POST -d '{"name":"api-ping"}'

• Pass custom Headers:

npx @dinakars777/api-ping https://api.example.com/protected -H "Authorization: Bearer my-token"
