What is Hoppscotch?

Hoppscotch is an open-source API development ecosystem. It is designed to assist users in creating requests efficiently, aiming to streamline the development process.

Why use it in the API Lifecycle?

  • API Request Creation: Allows users to create and send various types of API requests.
  • REST API Testing: Provides functionality for testing RESTful API endpoints.
  • WebSocket Interaction: Supports interaction and testing with WebSocket connections.
  • GraphQL Client: Enables development and testing of GraphQL queries and mutations.
  • SSE (Server-Sent Events) Support: Facilitates working with Server-Sent Events.
  • Socket.IO Client: Provides tools to connect and interact with Socket.IO services.

Best Practices

  • Use workspaces and environments to separate collections between personal experimentation and team-shared collections, especially when self-hosting for a larger org.
