JSON Pusher
JSON Pusher is a simple command-line tool written in Rust that reads a JSON file, iterates over the objects within, and pushes each object to a specified API endpoint. The tool allows you to specify the API URL, request method (e.g., POST, PUT), and an optional bearer token for authorization.
Features
- Supports POST and PUT requests: Push JSON data using the HTTP method of your choice.
- Bearer Token Support: Easily include a bearer token for authentication.
- Iterates Over JSON Objects: Handles JSON arrays by sending each object as a separate request.
- Cross Platform
Installation
Prerequisites
Ensure you have Rust installed on your machine. If not, you can install it via rustup.
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
Cloning the repo
git clone https://github.com/th0jensen/json_pusher.git
cd json_pusher
Building the Project
To build the project, navigate to the project directory and run:
cargo build --release
The compiled binary will be located in the target/release/ directory.
Add to PATH (optional)
cargo install --path .
Usage/Examples
You can run the JSON Pusher using the following command:
json_pusher --json <path_to_json_file> --url <api_endpoint_url> --method <http_method> [--token <path_to_token_file>]
Required Arguments
- --json (-j): Path to the input JSON file. This file should contain an array of JSON objects.
- --url (-u): The API endpoint URL where the JSON objects will be sent.
- --method (-m): The HTTP method to use (e.g., POST, PUT).
Optional Arguments
- --token (-t): Path to a file containing the bearer token for authorization. If not provided, the requests will be sent without an Authorization header.
Example
json_pusher --json ./data/input.json --url https://api.example.com/endpoint --method POST --token ./data/token.txt
This command will:
- Read the JSON objects from input.json.
- Iterate over each object and send it as a POST request to https://api.example.com/endpoint.
- Include the bearer token from token.txt in the Authorization header of each request.
Sample JSON File
Here’s an example of what your JSON file might look like:
[
{ "id": 1, "name": "Object 1" },
{ "id": 2, "name": "Object 2" }
]
Each object in the array will be sent as a separate request to the specified API endpoint.
Error Handling
- Unsupported HTTP Method: The tool currently supports only POST and PUT methods. If an unsupported method is specified, the program will exit with an error.
- File Reading Errors: If the JSON file or token file cannot be read, an error will be displayed, and the program will terminate.
