HTTPie (pronounced aitch-tee-tee-pie) is a command-line HTTP client.
Its goal is to make CLI interaction with web services as human-friendly as possible.
HTTPie is designed for testing, debugging, and generally interacting with APIs & HTTP servers.
The http & https commands allow for creating and sending arbitrary HTTP requests.
They use simple and natural syntax and provide formatted and colorized output.
Please note we recently accidentally made this repo private for a moment, and GitHub deleted our community that took a decade to build. Read the full story here: https://httpie.io/blog/stardust
