About HTTPie

Making APIs Human-Friendly

HTTPie is an open-source API testing platform designed to make working with HTTP servers, RESTful APIs, and web services easy and intuitive. With powerful tools available across the terminal, web, and desktop, HTTPie helps developers focus more on building and less on debugging.

Whether you're a solo developer, a startup engineer, or part of a large enterprise team, HTTPie is trusted by the best to streamline every step of the API interaction process.

HTTPie for Web & Desktop

A Graphical Interface Built for Simplicity

HTTPie for Web and Desktop brings the ease of use of the terminal version into a sleek, modern interface. You can send requests, inspect responses, and manage endpoints—all without typing a line of code.

• Visually structure requests and responses
• Export/import API collections
• Use path params and headers with ease
• Copy requests as ready-to-run terminal commands
• Sync across devices

Ideal for developers who prefer a visual interface but want the full power of API exploration and testing.

HTTPie for Terminal

The Original Open-Source API Client

HTTPie started as a terminal-based command-line tool for testing and debugging APIs. It offers a cleaner, more readable alternative to curl and is available via popular package managers like apt, brew, pip, and more.

• Simple, expressive syntax
• Colorized, formatted output
• Built-in JSON support
• Works seamlessly with RESTful and GraphQL APIs
• Easily scriptable and composable

Loved by developers for its simplicity and power, HTTPie for Terminal remains a must-have CLI tool in any tech stack.

HTTPie AI

Conversational API Debugging (Coming Soon)

HTTPie is also building AI capabilities that will help you interact with APIs in plain English. With HTTPie AI, you’ll be able to describe what you want to do—like «get the latest issues from a GitHub repo"—and the system will build and send the correct request.

Designed to reduce the learning curve for HTTP, API structures, and authentication flows, this AI integration brings even more accessibility to developers and non-developers alike.
