Rest 🛠️

Rest is a minimal CLI tool for sharing JSON data via one-time, public REST endpoints.
Built for developers who need to quickly expose or test JSON payloads without setup or authentication.

Perfect for:

• Sharing payloads with teammates
• Testing webhooks or API clients
• Temporary data exposure during development

🚀 Installation

Install rest using the following one-liner:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/egeuysall/rest/master/install.sh | sh

⚙️ Usage

rest -d <path-to-json> [-e <expires-in-minutes>] [-t <max-access-count>]

Options:

Flag	Description	Default
-d string	Required. Path to your JSON file	—
-e int	Expiration time in minutes	10
-t int	Max number of times the payload can be accessed	1

Example

rest -d ./payload.json -e 10 -t 3

This shares payload.json for 10 minutes and allows up to 3 accesses.

🧹 Auto-Expiration

Payloads are automatically deleted after:

• The expiration time (-e) is reached
• They have been accessed -t times

📦 Use Cases

• Share a JSON response with your frontend team
• Provide sample payloads to test third-party integrations
• Simulate webhooks with disposable endpoints
