About the Company

HTTPie

Open-source CLI HTTP client for APIs

HTTPie is a command-line HTTP client that lets developers interact with servers, RESTful APIs, and web services from the terminal. Users type simple commands like http GET /items and receive readable, syntax-highlighted responses with status, headers, and data. It differentiates itself with a clean, easy-to-use syntax and built-in JSON formatting, offering a developer-friendly workflow over generic tools like curl. Its goal is to help developers test and develop APIs more efficiently while remaining open-source and supported by donations, sponsorships, and potential premium options.
