The interactive shell for HTTP requests.

Set a base URL, add headers once, use variables, save requests, and re-run them from history. Pure terminal efficiency, built in Rust.

A persistent REPL.

Stop typing the same host and authentication headers over and over. With reqsh, you set your base URL and headers once in a session. Every subsequent request uses them automatically.

reqsh> base https://api.stripe.com

reqsh> header Authorization Bearer sk_test

reqsh> GET /v1/customers

.....> ::send

reqsh> history

1base https://api.stripe.com

2header Authorization Bearer sk_test

3GET /v1/customers

reqsh> rerun 3

Time-travel with history.

Every command is saved. Type historyto see everything you've done in the current session. Made a typo or need to repeat a request? Just use rerun <id> to execute it instantly.

Variables. Save. Run.

Use {{name}} syntax to interpolate values into paths, headers, and bodies. Save any request to memory with save and replay it instantly with run.

reqsh> set token eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9

reqsh> GET /users/{{token}}

.....> ::send

reqsh> save get-users

reqsh> run get-users

reqsh>POST

Built for speed.

Written in Rust, reqsh starts instantly and uses minimal memory. It features blazing fast tab completion for all commands and HTTP methods.
