Google Apps Script allows you to write and deploy code scripts through Google Drive. These scripts (written in JavaScript) run server-side and have full access to Google's APIs. This means you can use them to automate all sorts of things, from sending emails to editing spreadsheets. I've added some examples I use regularly to this repository on GitHub .

A few years ago while testing deployed RESTful API endpoints, I used an online tool called Hurl.it. However, the tool was taken down as the developers behind it were promoting their new desktop REST Client Insomnia (similar to Postman). Having prefered using a web-based HTTP Client, with no replacement around, I decided to create my own. The tool is called 'Curl It'. It was a single weekend project, so is quite barebones, just a very basic PHP site which sends GET/POST requests. For the time being I am hosting it here , using the free tier of Google App Engine. The tool is open source and open to contributions, you can find it on GitHub here . UPDATE: The tool is now offline as I'm no longer able to use the free tier of Google App Engine for it, and couldn't find another place for it.
