Audience
Developers and DevOps engineers who prefer a fast, keyboard-driven terminal tool to test and manage APIs without relying on graphical clients
About Posting
Posting is an open source terminal-based API client designed to help developers build, test, and manage HTTP requests directly from the command line through a fast, keyboard-centric interface. It functions as a modern alternative to tools like Postman or Insomnia, but instead of a graphical interface, it runs as a text-based UI (TUI), allowing efficient workflows locally, over SSH, or inside remote environments and containers. It enables users to create and organize API requests into collections stored as simple, readable YAML files, making them easy to version control and share across projects. It includes features such as autocompletion, syntax highlighting, command palette access, and “jump mode” navigation to quickly move through the interface, along with support for importing and exporting cURL commands and integrating with editors like Vim for editing request bodies.
