RESTer

A REST client for almost any web service.

Download for: Firefox | Chrome

You can...

• perform HTTP requests with any method, URL, body and custom headers.
• save favorite requests and organize them in collections.
• view a history of your requests, which includes the full request and response.

The add-on supports the following goodies:

• Create and save your authorization headers with Basic, OAuth 2 or Cookie authentication.
• Use placeholders in saved requests.
• Use shortcuts for the frequently used actions (try pressing "?" to see the available shortcuts for the current context).

It requires a few permissions to do this. Which permissions and why?

Develop

• node >= 20
• yarn >= 1

Afterwards you will find the generated files in the folder package.
