About:
resterm is a versatile command-line interface tool designed for executing HTTP, GraphQL, and gRPC requests directly from .http or .rest files. It streamlines the API development workflow by allowing developers to version control and execute API requests alongside their source code. This tool serves as a powerful alternative to GUI-based clients, offering speed and scriptability for modern development environments.
Key Features:
  • Support for HTTP, GraphQL, and gRPC protocols in a single tool
  • Native support for .http and .rest file formats
  • CLI-first design for easy scripting and automation
  • Fast execution and lightweight footprint written in Go
Use Cases:
  • Automating API testing and integration checks within CI/CD pipelines
  • Sharing and collaborating on API request collections via version control
  • Performing quick API requests directly from the terminal without context switching
Alternatives:
  • httpie – httpie is user-friendly for single HTTP requests, but resterm offers broader protocol support (gRPC/GraphQL) and file-based request management.
  • postman – Postman is a comprehensive GUI client, whereas resterm is a lightweight, scriptable CLI tool ideal for terminal-centric workflows.
