Overview
RestApia is a free HTTP API client built for macOS that gives developers and QA engineers a compact, efficient interface for working with web services. The app makes it straightforward to construct, dispatch, and manage API calls, helping users validate endpoints and debug integrations without unnecessary complexity.
Supported HTTP methods and request customization
- DELETE
- PUT
- POST
- GET
You can tailor each request with custom headers and body payloads, choosing formats (JSON, form data, raw text, etc.) as needed for the endpoint you are testing.
Inspecting responses
- Response time measurements
- HTTP status codes
- Full response bodies and headers
Built-in inspection tools display timing, status information, and the returned content so you can quickly identify errors or performance bottlenecks.
Organizing work and improving productivity
RestApia lets you save requests into collections, group related calls, and reuse or modify previous requests, which streamlines repetitive testing and collaboration across projects. Its emphasis on a clean workflow and fast access to commonly used requests makes it a handy utility for everyday API tasks.
