HTTPie

HTTPie is a tool designed for testing APIs and HTTP servers with an easy-to-understand approach. You type commands that look similar to the actual HTTP requests you want to make, and HTTPie handles the technical details for you. The responses come back formatted with colors, making JSON and other data easy to read.

The command-line version is completely free and open-source, meaning anyone can use it and even modify it. The web and desktop versions offer a visual interface with the same friendly approach. HTTPie supports everything developers need: authentication, custom headers, file uploads, session management, and more. It works on all major operating systems and integrates well with development workflows.

Using HTTPie is straightforward across all its versions. Here is how to get started:

• For the command-line version, install it using your system's package manager or pip. Then use simple commands like http GET api.example.com to make requests.

• Use the web version by visiting httpie.io/app in your browser. No installation or account needed. Type your request URL and method, add any headers or data, and click send.

• Download the desktop app from httpie.io/download for offline work. It saves your requests automatically and syncs across devices if you create an account.

• Add parameters by typing them after the URL, like http POST api.example.com name=John [email protected] for JSON data.

• Try the AI assistant by typing your request in plain language, and it will generate the proper HTTP request for you.
