There are multiple developer tool IDEs such as Insomnia, Postman, and Altair. Here are examples using Insomnia and Postman.
Insomnia is an API request IDE and a remote.it plugin is available to assist with authentication to allow you to experiment before you develop code.
For graphQL, you can explore the schema, generate queries and mutations.
For the REST-API, you can create http requests.
Remote.it Insomnia Collection
We have developed an example set of GraphQL queries and mutations in a collection that you can import directly into insomnia to get started. You will still need to install the authentication plug-in here and create your access keys in your account before getting started.
If you haven't already set up your machine with the credentials file, see here and do so now.
Select the Auth tab of the query and select Bearer Token authentication.
Click on theToken field and CTRL+Spaceto select the remote.it API authentication tag, and select a specific profile otherwise the default profile will be used.
You now can send the request and execute the query using the credentials stored earlier.
If you want to start using the API requests in your code, you cannot use the generated code out of Insomnia as the generated signature is only good for that specific request. You will need to use the http request signing methodology. Some examples can be found on the authentication page.
Download and Install Postman
Create a Remote.it Environment
You can quickly change postman environments for any request. All our required keys and headers will be stored here. Add and Save the values retrieved from your credentials file.
