About:
Slumber is a terminal-based HTTP client designed for efficient API testing and interaction directly from the command line. It provides a text-based user interface for managing requests, viewing responses, and organizing collections. The tool focuses on keyboard-driven workflows and scriptability to streamline developer productivity.
Key Features:
  • Text-based user interface for request management
  • Support for environment variables and dynamic values
  • Collection-based organization for requests
  • Keyboard-driven navigation and shortcuts
Use Cases:
  • Testing and debugging REST APIs from the terminal
  • Automating HTTP requests in CI/CD pipelines
  • Quickly switching between different API environments
Alternatives:
  • httpie – Command-line focused, but Slumber offers a persistent TUI interface
  • postman – GUI-based with cloud sync, while Slumber is terminal-native and lightweight
  • curl – Lower-level tool, Slumber adds organization and TUI features
