An experiment in Model Based API Development.
Thingifier comes preconfigured for download as:
When you download one of the .jar
files then use:
java -jar runTodoListRestAPI-1.5.2.jar
Where you replace the name of the .jar
file with the name of the file you downloaded.
- then visit http://localhost:4567 and you will see the welcome gui.
- there are links to the API documentation, and the View GUI
Command line options are:
-port=1234
to change the port to1234
-version=1
to start with a different version.- Each api comes preconfigured with multiple versions, by default the 'best' version is used, so if you switch to an earlier version you might find more bugs.
An online version of the application can be found at:
This version will reset all data every 10 minutes.
If you want to practice seriously then I suggest downloading the .jar
and running it locally.
We are not responsible for any data that you find on the cloud deploy.
We reserve the right to remove the cloud deploy or change the reset time if we discover it is being misused.
Currently Thingifier is suitable for using as a Practice Test App for API Testing.
Based on my Compendium-TA tool from 2003/2004.
