How do I test a REST API online without Postman?+
Enter your API endpoint URL, select the HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), add any required headers and request body, then click Send. The formatted JSON response appears instantly.
Can I add authentication headers to API requests?+
Yes. Add Authorization headers (Bearer tokens, API keys, Basic auth) in the Headers section. Common headers like Content-Type and Accept are also supported.
Can I test my localhost API using this browser tool?+
Yes. Since the tool runs directly in your browser, it can make requests to localhost (e.g., http://localhost:3000/api/users) and local network addresses. No CORS proxy needed for local APIs.
What HTTP methods does this API tester support?+
Supports all standard HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, and OPTIONS. You can also send custom request bodies in JSON format for POST and PUT requests.
How is this different from Postman?+
This tool works instantly in your browser with no installation, no account, and no configuration. Postman has more advanced features (collections, environments, tests), but for quick API testing, this is faster and simpler.
Can I test APIs that require OAuth or Bearer token authentication?+
Yes. Add an Authorization header with value 'Bearer YOUR_TOKEN' in the Headers section. For OAuth 2.0, first obtain your access token using your OAuth provider, then paste it as the Bearer token here. Basic Auth can be added as 'Basic BASE64_OF_USER_PASS'.
How do I test an API without installing Postman?+
Enter the endpoint URL, pick a method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), add headers or a body if needed, and send, all from your browser. You get the status code, timing and formatted response, with nothing to install.
Can I add authentication headers like a Bearer token?+
Yes. Add custom headers including Authorization: Bearer <token> (or an API key header) so you can test authenticated endpoints directly.
Does it format and validate the JSON response?+
Yes. The response body is pretty-printed and validated, and you see the status code and response time, so you can debug an endpoint quickly.
Can I add authentication headers?+
Yes: add Bearer tokens or any custom headers your API requires before sending the request.
