Hubql
Hubql is your local-first API Client to test, share, document and ship APIs faster.
Start with any OpenAPI spec either through introspection via URL or using our server libraries passing your API schema.
Hubql is built as local-first library storing your data offline. Our API client runs in browser only either as a local server plugin for example as NestJS plugin or distributed directly via CDN as JS library.
Organize your APIs in workspaces and Hubs. Share your API Hubs with your team members and collaborate on the same API collection.
Store your environment variables in your workspace and use them in your API requests. No need to copy-paste your variables anymore.
