Proxyscotch

API request builder - Helps you create your requests faster, saving you precious time on your development.


A simple proxy server created by @SamJakob for Hoppscotch and formerly hosted by Apollo Software Limited.

Installation ๐Ÿ“ฆ

Proxyscotch requires zenity on Linux. This is available in most distribution package managers.

We're still working on automated installers. For now, copy the binary to a user-writeable location and launch the application.
A dialog will open and explain the certificate installation process - there are more detailed instructions in our wiki.

Demo ๐Ÿš€

https://hoppscotch.io

Building ๐Ÿ—๏ธ

These are bash scripts. In order to execute them on Windows, you will need to use some form of bash shell on Windows. We recommend Git Bash.

  • macOS:
# To build the desktop tray application:
$ ./build.sh darwin

# To build the server application:
$ ./build.sh darwin server
  • For Linux desktops:
# To build the desktop tray application:
$ ./build.sh linux

# To build the server application:
$ ./build.sh linux server
  • For Windows desktops:
# To build the desktop tray application:
$ ./build.sh windows

# To build the server application:
$ ./build.sh windows server

The build output is placed in the out/ directory.

Installers ๐Ÿง™

The installers/ directory contains scripts for each platform to generate an installer application.
Each platform's installer directory, contains the relevant information for that installer.

Usage ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป

Desktops ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ

The proxy will add a tray icon to the native system tray for your platform, which will contain all of the options for the proxy.

Servers ๐Ÿ–ง

To use the proxy on a server, clone the package, build the server using the instructions above, and use:

$ ./out/<platform>-server/server --host="<hostname>:<port>" --token="<token_or_blank>"

# e.g. on Linux
$ ./out/linux-server/server --host="<hostname>:<port>" --token="<token_or_blank>"

# or on Windows
$ ./out/windows-server/server.exe --host="<hostname>:<port>" --token="<token_or_blank>"
  • The host and token parameters are optional. The defaults are as follows:
  • host: localhost:9159
  • token: blank; allowing anyone to access (see below)

NOTE: When the token is blank it will allow anybody to access your proxy server. This may be what you want, but please be sure to consider the security implications.
