Introduction to Metricool API Explorer

The Metricool API Explorer is a tool that helps developers and users easily interact with WADL (Web Application Description Language) documents to discover available APIs. WADL is an XML-based language that describes the resources and operations available on a web service. The Metricool API Explorer is a helpful tool that allows users to explore the available resources and operations of an API in an easy-to-use interface.

In this guide, we will discuss how to use the Metricool API Explorer and provide some example prompts that can be used to interact with it.

How to Use the Metricool API Explorer

1. First, visit the Metricool API Explorer website.
2. Once you are on the website, select the WADL document that you want to explore.
3. Once you have selected the WADL document, the Metricool API Explorer will display a hierarchical view of the available resources and operations. Each resource is displayed with its name, URL, and a brief description of its functionality.
4. To explore a specific resource, simply click on it. You will be directed to a new page that provides more detailed information about that resource.
5. On the right-hand side of the page, you will see a range of tools that allow you to test the available operations on the resource. These tools include a request builder, a request sent button, a response viewer, and more.
6. To interact with a resource, simply select the appropriate tool and fill in the necessary information. You can then send the request and view the response that is returned by the API.
7. Once you have completed your exploration of the WADL document, you can simply request a new WADL document to continue your evaluation of other APIs.
