HTTPie®

What it is

HTTPie® started as a solution to a simple problem: API testing was slowing down development, and available tools were inefficient. The founders built a better solution that helped them maintain their development flow, and it quickly became one of the top projects on GitHub.

Today, HTTPie® offers multiple products for API development. HTTPie® for Terminal is the original open-source CLI tool for testing APIs and web services. HTTPie® for Web & Desktop provides a graphical interface with the same user-friendliness as the Terminal version.

The company is on a mission to make APIs simple and intuitive for developers and teams throughout the API lifecycle. They are building a collaborative platform for API development using state-of-the-art artificial intelligence, with a vision of a human-centric yet powerful product.
