About:
HTTP Prompt is an interactive command-line HTTP client featuring autocomplete and syntax highlighting. It is built on top of HTTPie, allowing for persistent sessions and a familiar interface for making HTTP requests. This tool enhances developer productivity by simplifying the process of testing and debugging APIs directly from the terminal.
|
Key Features:
- Interactive shell with autocomplete
- Syntax highlighting for responses
- Persistent sessions for request history
- Built on HTTPie for robust functionality
|
Use Cases:
- Debugging RESTful APIs during development
- Quickly testing endpoints without writing scripts

-
Postman
