Hoppscotch turned 5 this August ๐!
When we first launched Hoppscotch, our plan was clear: make it easier for developers to test APIs directly from their browser without logging in (https://hoppscotch.io). Today, we've evolved far beyond that initial vision. Hoppscotch now features a Self-Hosted Edition, giving you greater control over your data, and a Desktop Application for a smoother, faster experience.
With our latest update, version 2024.8.0, we're excited to introduce cool new features that we think you'll love.
This update introduces new additions to the Hoppscotch Backend that require users to run a new migration (instructions can be found here for community and enterprise editions respectively), in addition to that, we're also adding a new environment variable DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY whose value is a 32 character alphanumeric string. For more details on this please refer to the documentation.
AWS Signature Authorization Type ๐
Support for AWS Signature authorization is now available. This HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) mechanism ensures that your requests are genuine and tamper-proof. Just enter your AWS Access Key and Secret Key to securely sign your API requests within Hoppscotch.
Description Field for Request Parameters and Headers ๐
To help you keep track of your API components, we've introduced description fields for request parameters and headers. Now, you can add notes about what each parameter or header does right inside Hoppscotch, making it easier to remember the purpose of each part of your request.
Import HAR Files to the Hoppscotch Collection ๐ฅ
You can now import HAR (HTTP Archive) files into Hoppscotch with just a couple of clicks. Whether you're pulling data from your browser or a network tool, you can quickly bring HAR files into Hoppscotch collections and get to work.
APIs for Workspace Management ๐ค
Admins using the Self-Hosted Enterprise Edition can now manage workspaces more easily with simple API calls. Tasks such as creating new workspaces, updating existing workspace details, and deleting workspaces can be performed with just a single click.
We're beyond grateful for the support from our community. Your belief in Hoppscotch and recognition of its potential have been major to our growth. We'd love to hear your thoughts on this release or anything else you'd like to share. Feel free to reach out to us at hello@hoppscotch.io, join the conversation on our Discord server, or head over to our GitHub repository. We can't wait to hear from you!
