At first I thought this might be doc-tests-for-REST.

Kinda disappointed. Doctests are nice. You should be able to doctest REST APIs.

Tools like Postman make it really easy to write test scripts and automate other things around endpoints that are defined using OpenAPI, so you're pretty close once you have the OpenAPI spec written.
