Hello API lets you create a public, interactive playground for your API in minutes. Easily add endpoints, publish the collection, and share the link so users can explore and test your API directly from their browser.
👋 Hey Product Hunt community!
We used to hate testing APIs. Signing up on third-party tools 🧑🚀, navigating our way through their cluttered interfaces, or continuously copy-pasting cURL commands: ugh. All we wanted was a really simple way to explore and test APIs, but kept getting caught up in all the setup and overhead.
That's why we created Hello API: a lightweight, no-nonsense API playground that lets everyone test APIs right from their browser. No account is needed for the end user. With Hello API, you will add your API endpoints in seconds, publish the collection, and share the link so users can interact with your API in no time ⏳.
But that was not enough for us. We then realized Hello API could solve another big pain point: how to onboard a new user into using your API. By publishing your API collection into Hello API, sharing one link gives your users instant access to an interactive playground. They can instantly start understanding what your API can do, trying endpoints, and viewing real responses, transforming the onboarding experience from passive reading to active learning 🚀.
We've also packed Hello API with super-handy features such as:
• 🏎️ Customizable request settings
• ♻️ Support for environment variables
• 🔗 Shareable links to specific endpoints
All of this is wrapped up in an interface that is fast, clean, and gets out of your way. No more fumbling through unwieldy platforms or juggling accounts. Hello API makes onboarding and API testing smooth and simple. We would love for you to give it a shot if you're tired of the same old headaches with API testing.
Let us know what you think! 😍
Game-changer for API testing! Love how Hello API transforms docs into a hands-on experience without the usual setup fuss. 🚀
Congrats on the launch! I love the idea of a lightweight, browser-based playground that simplifies onboarding and testing. Those features, especially the shareable links, will definitely make life easier for developers. Best of luck!
@zzev Well done on the Hello API launch! Can users alter the playground to test particular API scenarios?
It would be awesome if you added a dark mode for the API playground, especially for night owls like me!
can we customize the interactive playground for diifrent projects? That would be a big point.
it’s fantastic how this tool simplifies API testing. Making it accessible directly from the browser is a great move!

@zzev, this is a fantastic leap forward for simplifying API testing and onboarding! 🎉
The ability to create a public, interactive playground for APIs directly in the browser is a game-changer. The focus on reducing the clutter and eliminating the need for user accounts makes it super accessible for developers and non-developers alike. I especially love the shareable links and environment variable support—features that really enhance collaboration and streamline the testing process. Can't wait to see how Hello API transforms the way teams approach API documentation and testing.
Kudos on launching such an intuitive and powerful tool! 🚀
Congrats to the Hello API team on the launch! Does it support advanced features like API authentication or rate limiting for users testing the API?
These new launch today's really have a great opportunity to make it easy everything. Congrats, Zeta! you got my upvote
Congratulations on launching! How does your platform handle authentication for APIs that require it, while still keeping the testing process simple for users?
The interactive demos are a great touch! I’d love to see how the Notion API works in real time.
Overall , I think Hello API has the potential to make API integration a lot smoother. Looking forward to giving it a try!
