HTTP/REST API client with collections, environments, variables & assertions
API Request Tester is a native desktop HTTP/1.1 REST and API client for building, inspecting, organizing, and testing HTTP/HTTPS endpoints.
FEATURES:
- Request Builder & Inspector: Send real GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, and OPTIONS requests via Python http.client/urllib. Configure query parameters, custom headers, authentication (Bearer Token, Basic Auth, API Key in header or query), and request bodies (JSON, x-www-form-urlencoded, multipart/form-data with file uploads, or raw text).
- Response Viewer & Code Export: Inspect status code, elapsed latency (ms), payload byte size, pretty-printed JSON or raw response body, response headers, Set-Cookie attributes, and export any request as a ready-to-run cURL command or Python 3 urllib snippet.
- SQLite Collections & Environments: Save requests into local SQLite collections, define environment profiles with live {{variable}} substitution before sending, and import/export collections as JSON.
- Assertions Test Runner & History: Attach real response assertions (status code equals, latency under threshold, header exists, JSON key equals, body contains), run batch collection test suites with pass/fail reports, and browse or replay your persistent SQLite request history.
Limitations: Supports HTTP/1.1 over TCP/TLS only (no HTTP/2, HTTP/3, WebSocket, GraphQL schema introspection, or JavaScript pre-request scripting).
