Simple HTTP Requests

Simple HTTP POST And GET Requests For API Testing

Simple HTTP Requests launched on January 12, 2016 with 3 votes. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.

What it does

A tool that I built for myself a while back to simplify API testing. The application sends GET or POST HTTP requests to a specified API end-point. The application saves request parameters and results so that you can share the results with co-workers and compare them with previous values.

A tool for web developers that makes simple HTTP POST and GET requests. This can be used to test various API end-points

    Hi HN! I just released version 1.0 of Posting, an open source terminal application I've been working on which you might find useful if you work with, test, or develop HTTP APIs! Posting (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;darrenburns&#x2F;posting) is an HTTP client, not unlike Postman and Insomnia. However, as a TUI application, it works over SSH and enables efficient keyboard-centric workflows. Your requests are stored locally in simple readable YAML files, meaning they're easy to read and version control. Some other features include: - "Jump mode" navigation - Environments&#x2F;variables…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
