Webshell.io - command line for the Internet

Webshell.io is designed to create prototypes and mashups based on the JavaScript API of various web services. Something like IFTTT , but for programmers. With it, you can interactively write requests for JavaScript and CoffeeScript to the client and server APIs of Google, Facebook, Twitter and many other popular sites and see their answers in the console, as well as create your own applications, the API of which, in turn, will be available to other developers. Webshell also supports HTML rendering from EJS templates.

The creators of webshell hope that their service will be for the API the same as Github has become for open source software. With it, you can create "remixes", wrappers and combinations of APIs of different services, add and modify them. Today, more than 7,000 open APIs are available on the Internet, from which, like bricks, you can build new applications, just like using bix scripts you can combine Unix command line tools. The name of the service underlines this analogy.

Webshell is built on Node.js and, according to the developers, is ready for use in real-world applications, and not just for experiments. Now there is an open beta testing. The service is supposed to be monetized with the help of limits on the number of calls for popular applications and partner programs for API providers.
