A Simple Tool for Testing and Generating HTTP Requests
If you've ever needed to test an API, debug a request, or just figure out how HTTP works, you know how annoying it can be to construct and send requests manually. That’s why we built this simple web app—it helps you create, send, and analyze HTTP requests without any hassle.
What Can This App Do?
- No installation required – Just open it in your browser.
- Easy-to-use interface – No need to manually format URLs.
- Supports HTTP methods –
GET
,POST
,PUT
,PATCH
,DELETE
. - Customize requests – Add headers, query parameters, and request bodies.
- Preview before sending – Make sure everything looks right.
- View responses – See status codes, headers, and body content.
- Generate code – Get a ready-to-use snippet in Python, JavaScript, Go, or cURL.
How It Works
1. Fill in the Request Details
Enter the key components of your request:
- Method: Choose from
GET
,POST
,PUT
,PATCH
,DELETE
. - Protocol: Select
HTTPS
orHTTP
. - Host: Enter the domain or IP (e.g.,
api.example.com
). - Path: Specify the endpoint (e.g.,
/users
). - Query Parameters: Add key-value pairs (e.g.,
id
=123
). - Headers: Define any needed headers, like
Content-Type
orAuthorization
.
2. Preview the Request
Before sending, check how your request is structured to avoid mistakes.
3. Send the Request
Click “Run” to send it. You’ll see:
- The HTTP status code (e.g.,
200 OK
,404 Not Found
). - The time it took to complete.
- Response headers.
- The response body.
4. Generate Code
Need to use the request in your project? Click “Generate Code” and choose from:
- Command line (cURL)
- Python (requests library)
- JavaScript (fetch API)
- PHP (built-in function)
- Go (net/http package)
Copy and paste the code into your app—it’s that easy.
Who Might Find This Useful?
This tool is handy for:
- Developers testing APIs and backend services.
- QA engineers checking how requests behave.
- Students & learners experimenting with HTTP and REST APIs.
- Anyone debugging network issues in web apps.
