One of Moment’s long-term goals is to blur the line between Confluence/Notion-style knowledge bases and internal tools. Partly this is because internal tools are less likely to be out-of-date when they’re colocated with documentation; partly this is simply because we’re tired of paying two bills.

In any case, that blurring begins with being able to get data from, well, pretty much anywhere.

If you’ve ever used Postman, Insomnia, Bruno, Playwright, Firecamp, Hoppscotch, Httpie, SoapUI, Testfully, Thunder Client, httpYac, Rapid, postcode, Nightingale, Keyrunner, Teste, Apidog, or Hurl, you already basically get the idea.

To get started, click the New Page chevron, and click New HTTP request page:

Now, type the URL you want. Click Send. Receive the result:

And that’s pretty much it! Get data from any rest API in one or two clicks.

We use cURL extensively, so we built it into our API client. If you have a cURL command in the clipboard we detect it and give you a nice button that says Import cURL. You can click it or paste in the URL input to automatically populate the query UI with all the headers, params, and body, of the cURL command.

Caveats & Notes

The feature is sparing but functional. There are just a couple things to keep in mind:
