Show HN: Stunt – a stunt double for the APIs you integrate (95 adapters)https://github.com/stuntapi/stuntHi, I'm the author. Quick tour before the comments do it for me.StuntAPI, `stunt` for CLI friends, runs local, stateful stand-ins for the public APIs your code talks to. `brew install --cask stuntapi/tap/stunt`, then `stunt demo` — you get a Stripe-style sim on a local port, and the curl it prints actually means it:create a charge, list it back (the charge is there — state persists across requests and restarts), capture it, and watch the signed webhook fire at a local sink. All synthetic, all offline, no Stripe account.Why I built it: I've spent twenty-odd years integrating other people's APIs — commodities trading and market data in London, fintech, payments, blockchain RPC infra — and the test story never got better. Sandbox accounts, live secrets in CI, rate limits, flaky suites because the mock didn't behave like the real thing. WireMock/Prism/MSW are great at static and schema-shaped mocks; what I always wanted was a runnable stand-in — create, list, mutate, webhooks, auth expiry,Aug 18, 2026 1:15 PM
