Overview

The HTTP Request Tester is a lightweight, in-browser HTTP client that allows you to send GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, and OPTIONS requests directly from your browser. Without installing heavy desktop applications, you can customize headers, configure request bodies, toggle redirect behaviors, and inspect status codes, response headers, timing data, and formatted payloads instantly.

When to use

  • When you need to quickly test a REST API endpoint without opening heavy desktop software.
  • When debugging webhooks or backend APIs by sending custom HTTP methods, headers, and payloads.
  • When verifying API response times, status codes, and headers directly from your web browser.

How it works

  1. 1Enter the target API endpoint URL and select the desired HTTP method such as GET, POST, or PUT.
  2. 2Add custom headers and configure the request body type (JSON, Form, or Raw) if your request requires a payload.
  3. 3Click send to execute the request and view the formatted response, status code, headers, and timing metrics.

Use cases

  • Testing a local or public REST API endpoint to verify JSON responses.
  • Sending a POST request with a JSON payload to test a database insertion endpoint.
  • Checking HTTP response headers and status codes for debugging server configurations.

Examples

1. Testing a Public GET API

Frontend Developer

Background

A developer needs to verify the structure of a public user profile API before writing integration code.

Problem

Quickly inspect the JSON payload and headers returned by a GET request.

How to use

Set the URL to the API endpoint, select GET as the method, and click send.

URL: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/1
Method: GET

Outcome

The tool displays a 200 OK status code, response headers, and the formatted JSON user object.

2. Submitting a JSON POST Request

Backend Engineer

Background

An engineer is testing a new user creation endpoint that requires authentication and a JSON payload.

Problem

Send a POST request with an Authorization header and a JSON body to verify successful creation.

How to use

Set the URL, select POST, add the Authorization header, set the Body Type to JSON, paste the JSON payload, and execute.

FAQ

Does this tool send requests from my browser or a backend server?

Requests are sent directly from your browser using standard web APIs, meaning local network endpoints are accessible but subject to CORS policies.

Can I send custom headers like Authorization tokens?

Yes, you can input custom headers line-by-line in the Headers field, such as 'Authorization: Bearer token'.

What request body formats are supported?

The tool supports Raw text, JSON, and Form (x-www-form-urlencoded) body types.

Can I measure how long an API request takes?

Yes, by enabling the 'Show Response Timing' option, the tool displays the duration of the request.

Does the tool follow HTTP redirects automatically?

Yes, you can toggle the 'Follow Redirects' option to control whether the client automatically follows HTTP redirects.
