- passing data from a request to another (with captures or with cookies, each file being its own cookie session),
- gettings resources and checking payload SHAS
- checking responses (JSONPath, XPath on body response, headers etc...)
- retry / polling scenarios (polls until a resource is created for instance)
- comments things (we use Hurl as documentation for APIs workflows)
You can do these things using scripts and curl of course. We appreciate having a tool that works locally on Windows / macOS / Linux and integrates nicely in CI/CD. Hurl uses a (very small) fragment of libcurl. curl is much much powerfull, we love it.
