Quick Start

Get from zero to your first successful request in under five minutes.

1. Create a room

Click the + button on the Rooms screen to create a new room. Give it a name that matches the API or project you're working on — for example, GitHub API or My Backend.

2. Add a request

Inside your room, click New Request (or press Cmd+T). A new tab opens with a blank request.

3. Set the method and URL

Click the method badge (defaults to GET) to change the HTTP method. Type your URL in the URL bar — for example:

https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1

4. Send it

Press Cmd+Enter or click the Send button. The response appears in the panel below: status code, response time, headers, and body.

5. Save the request

Press Cmd+S to save the request. Give it a name — this is what appears in the sidebar and command palette.

What's next

• Use Environments to extract the base URL into a variable so you can switch between staging and production without editing requests.
• Attach Auth Configurations to requests that need authentication.
• Browse Request History to replay or compare past responses.
