Ripple (XRP) Introduces ‘Try It’ Feature for API Documentation
Ripple
(XRP)
has
unveiled
a
new
feature
in
its
API
documentation
that
allows
developers
to
interact
with
the
Ripple
Payments
API
in
real-time.
The ‘Try
It’
feature
lets
users
send
simulated
API
requests
and
receive
responses
from
a
mock
server
without
needing
to
log
in
or
provide
authorization
tokens,
according
to
ripple.com.
Enhanced
Developer
Experience
The
new ‘Try
It’
feature
is
available
across
several
API
reference
documentation
pages,
including
the
Ripple
Payments
API,
Smart
Liquidation
Service
API,
and
Report
Service
API.
With
this
interactive
tool,
developers
can
now
evaluate
Ripple’s
technology
solutions
more
efficiently.
By
sending
API
requests
to
a
mock
server,
they
receive
realistic
responses
without
requiring
API
credentials
or
signing
in.
Streamlined
Testing
Process
Previously,
developers
had
to
wait
for
the
contracting
process
to
be
completed
to
obtain
API
credentials
for
testing.
The
introduction
of
the ‘Try
It’
feature
eliminates
this
barrier,
offering
a
lightweight
testing
tool
accessible
at
any
time.
This
helps
accelerate
the
integration
process
and
allows
for
independent
testing
before
going
live.
Using
the ‘Try
It’
Feature
To
use
the ‘Try
It’
feature,
developers
can
follow
these
steps
for
the ‘GET
/fees’
operation
of
the
Ripple
Payments
API:
-
Go
to
the
API
reference
page
for
the
GET
/fees
operation. -
Click
the ‘Try
It’
button
on
the
right
panel. -
Enter
any
string
in
the
Authorization
text
field
under
the
Security
tab. -
Edit
query
parameters
under
the
Parameters
tab. -
Click
Send
to
view
the
response
from
the
endpoint.
The
response
panel
will
automatically
update
to
display
the
success
response
from
the
endpoint,
providing
developers
with
a
comprehensive
understanding
of
how
Ripple
APIs
structure
responses,
manage
pagination,
and
handle
request
parameters.
Future
Developments
The ‘Try
It’
feature
is
currently
live
and
available
for
testing
in
the
Ripple
Payments
API,
Smart
Liquidation
Service
API,
and
Report
Service
API
reference
documentation
pages.
Ripple’s
product
documentation
team
is
also
working
to
enable
this
feature
for
the
Ripple
Payments
Direct
API
reference
pages
soon.
For
more
information,
developers
can
visit
the
Ripple
documentation
hub
at
docs.ripple.com
and

the
new ‘Try
It’
feature.
