There's also restclient mode to do REST API in any buffer

Looks also interesting, but it doesn't fit my use cases: I need custom
functions to grab values/data from other sources (e.g. `pocket-
reader.el). `restclient` is more about having pre-defined HTTP
requests (path, headers, payload etc.) in a buffer and a major mode
for executing the requests. Pretty much the same what
[verb](https://github.com/federicotdn/verb) offers.

Nice. I was using Tiddlywiki for some time before switching to Emacs.

Although, in my opinion, elisp is just a better engine for
extensibility than js.

This is very well written and an excellent tutorial on interacting
with a REST endpoint using elisp. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for your kind words! I still consider myself a lisp noob 😊

Prototype for now, but I will never understand.
