Frequently Asked Questions

What is an API request builder?

An API request builder lets you construct and send HTTP requests to any API endpoint directly from your browser. It is useful for testing APIs, debugging integrations, and exploring endpoints without writing code.

Is this like Postman?

Yes, it provides similar core functionality — building requests, adding headers, setting body content, and inspecting responses. It runs entirely in the browser with no installation required.

Can I send requests to localhost?

Requests are sent from our server, not your browser, so localhost URLs will not reach your local machine. Use a tunneling service or deploy to a staging environment for testing.

What content types are supported?

The builder supports JSON (application/json), form data (application/x-www-form-urlencoded), and raw text. Set the Content-Type header to match your payload format.
