#### An offline, Git friendly API client for REST, GraphQL, gRPC and more

Yaak is a desktop API client for REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, Server-Sent
Events and gRPC. Organize requests in workspaces with folders and
environments, chain requests with template functions, authenticate with
OAuth 2.0, JWT, AWS, NTLM and other plugins, and import collections from
Postman, Insomnia, OpenAPI, Bruno and curl. Workspaces can be mirrored to
a folder as plain files for Git, and secrets can be encrypted.

Open Yaak from your application menu or run yaak. Run yaak.cli to send
requests and manage the same workspaces from the command line.

This snap is built from the MIT-licensed source, which upstream allows for
personal and commercial use, without the license check and self-updater of
upstream's binaries. Updates come from the Snap Store. Encrypted secrets
need: sudo snap connect yaak:password-manager-service

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Yaak

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install Yaak

To install Yaak, simply use the following command:
