API Clients¶

In 2024, I finally moved from Insomnia to Bruno.

I don't use it currently but Restfox purprots to solve the same problem.

StepCI looks cool especially since it supports integrating with GitLab CI/CD. That's a slightly different use case but still interesting.

Interesting Calls¶

Here are a cool API calls that I wanted to save when migrating away from Insomnia:

curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/48039008/protected_branches?name=cutestcatWTH&push_access_level=30&unprotect_access_level=40' \

curl --request POST \
  --url https://gitlab.brie.run/api/v4/projects \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
        "name": "new_project", "description": "New Project", "path": "new_project",
        "namespace_id": "19", "initialize_with_readme": "true"}'

curl --request POST \
  --url https://gitlab.brie.run/api/v4/projects \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
        "name": "new_project", "description": "New Project", "path": "new_project",
        "namespace_id": "19", "initialize_with_readme": "true"}'

Turn on Maintenance Mode

curl --request PUT \
  --url 'https://gitlab.brie.dev/api/v4/application/settings?maintenance_mode=true&maintenance_mode_message=We%20are%20upgrading%20GitLab%20right%20now.' \

Schedule storage moves:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://omg.brie.dev/api/v4/groups/4/repository_storage_moves \
