ProtoCall

What ProtoCall is

ProtoCall is a cloud-based web app intended to simplify building APIs with gRPC. It runs in a browser without installation and organizes proto files into workspaces, where packages and imports resolve files within one namespace. Users can create a workspace manually by importing proto files or import a GitHub repository they own, collaborate on or can access through organization membership. Imports can follow future repository changes automatically. To make outbound requests that browsers cannot make directly because of CORS restrictions, the app relies on ProtoCall Agent, a local webserver. The agent applies its own CORS restrictions and additional authentication to guard communication with it. On Windows and macOS, the agent is supported through a Docker container; on Linux, it is a binary executable. ProtoCall currently supports workspaces based on a single repository rather than combining multiple repositories. For email-registered accounts, GitHub import requests repository and user OAuth scopes. The Free plan costs nothing and includes GitHub imports and manually created workspaces.
