The application is designed to facilitate the creation and customization of API requests, enabling users to easily work with various types of HTTP requests such as GET, HEAD, POST, PATCH, PUT, and DELETE. Users can manipulate their requests effortlessly, allowing for the adjustment of request inputs including headers, query parameters, and the body. The application also supports sending text content in Unicode and Emoji formats, along with the ability to preview API responses that include such characters, ensuring that users can interpret their outputs correctly.
For better organization, users can create collections and folders to keep their requests orderly. The application features a simple interface that allows users to rearrange requests by dragging and dropping them into their desired order. Additionally, a convenient popup menu enables users to rename, duplicate, and delete specific requests as needed, further enhancing the management of API requests within the application.
The application provides a visually appealing way to inspect and download data and multimedia API responses. Users can view essential details associated with the API response, such as the HTTP status code, error messages, headers, body content, and processing time. It includes formatted code previews for various response types like JSON, XML, YAML, HTML, and SQL. Notably, the platform allows testing and previewing multimedia API responses, such as images and audio files, which are features that are not commonly supported by other API clients. Furthermore, users can save the response body of any type, whether it is an image or text, directly to their system’s Downloads folder with a single click.
The application also stands out for its code generation capabilities, beginning as an open-source API client that provided advanced Dart code generation for seamless integration into Dart and Flutter projects. Over time, support for additional code generation languages has been added, now including JavaScript, Python, Kotlin, and more. Users can also enjoy full dark mode support, enabling them to switch easily between light and dark interfaces based on their preference. Data persistence is another key feature, with local data being saved on the disk and the option to export collections as HAR files for easy version control and compatibility with other API clients, such as Postman and Paw.
