Posting

The modern API client that lives in your terminal.

A powerful HTTP client that lives in your terminal.

Posting is an HTTP client, not unlike Postman and Insomnia. As a TUI application, it can be used over SSH and enables efficient keyboard-centric workflows. Your requests are stored locally in simple YAML files, so they’re easy to read and version control.

Posting

Some notable features include:

  • “jump mode” navigation
  • environments/variables
  • autocompletion
  • syntax highlighting using tree-sitter
  • Vim keys
  • customizable keybindings
  • user-defined themes
  • run Python code before and after requests
  • extensive configuration
  • open in $EDITOR/$PAGER
  • import curl commands by pasting them into the URL bar
  • export requests as cURL commands
  • import from Postman and OpenAPI specs
  • a command palette for quickly accessing functionality
