Build and test HTTP requests
Before wiring an API call into your code, it helps to send it once and see what comes back. This builder lets you set the method, URL, headers, and body, fire the request, and read the response — a quick way to confirm an endpoint behaves as the docs claim, check your authentication, or inspect the exact shape of the data you'll be parsing.
How to use it
- Choose the method and enter the URL.
- Add any headers and a request body.
- Send it and read the status, headers, and response body.
Where it helps
- Confirming an endpoint and your credentials work before coding.
- Inspecting the exact JSON an API returns.
- Reproducing a request to debug an error.
Questions people ask
Why do some requests fail with a CORS error? Browsers block cross-origin requests the target server hasn't permitted; that's a browser security rule, not a fault in your request.
Are my requests logged? The request goes from your browser to the URL you enter; this tool doesn't store it.
