When developing RESTful applications or accessing such services, it can be of great help to have a handy tool to try out its different functionalities. A useful application to this end is the WizTools.org RESTClient. It provides a slim and convenient interface to test HTTP methods like POST, GET, DELETE or PUT, along with the possiblity to edit a variety of parameters for each request.
A tutorial to access our BibSonomy API with this tool is found here:

We think that this example demonstrates well both the capabilities of the RESTClient application and our API!
Best,
