About:
IntelliJ HTTP Client CLI is a standalone command-line tool that brings the powerful HTTP client capabilities of JetBrains IDEs to the terminal. It allows developers to execute HTTP requests from .http files, enabling automated API testing and interaction within CI/CD pipelines and development workflows without a graphical interface.
Key Features:
  • Execute requests from .http and .rest files
  • Support for environment variables and dynamic expressions
  • Handles authentication, cookies, and custom headers
  • Integrates seamlessly into automated scripts and CI/CD pipelines
Use Cases:
  • Automating API testing in continuous integration environments
  • Quickly debugging endpoints from the terminal without a GUI
  • Sharing executable API request specifications within a team
Alternatives:
  • cURL – More verbose to use but universally available; ijhttp offers a more structured, file-based approach similar to the IDE experience.
  • HTTPie – Focuses on user-friendly CLI output; ijhttp is specifically designed to leverage the rich ecosystem of JetBrains .http files.
