From the README
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&httpscommands 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.
