Rest API calls from Slack
Hello there.
I am developing "rest api client" plugin for Slack.
It makes easier sharing API calls inside team. And you will be able to test simple calls using slash command like "/restapi get http://endpoint" and get back a Snippet with JSON response.
It's not Postman replacer.
Slack provides nice Message API and we can use it for passing header and body
What you hackers think about it? Would it be useful for you?

As a developer that frequently is getting or sharing API details via Slack in my workplace, I see the value of this! My only concern would be most of the APIs I'm getting or sharing require some sort of authentication to be passed and I'm pretty sure our security team would not be okay with us sharing those details in a plain text Slack DM. But perhaps that isn't the norm at other larger organizations.
Thanks for reply, Deven.
In case of authentication you probably pass that info via Postman or another 3d party tool. Why won't you pass it through this service? It will also have privacy and policy.
