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
  • Inspecting JSON responses with readable formatting
Alternatives:
  • HTTPie – HTTPie is the core engine; http-prompt adds an interactive session layer on top.
  • cURL – cURL is a non-interactive standard, whereas http-prompt offers a REPL environment.
  • Postman – Postman is a GUI-based tool, while http-prompt is a terminal-native solution.
