Description
Build, test, and debug APIs anywhere
HTTP Request is a powerful API client and debugger for iPhone and iPad. Create HTTP, GraphQL, WebSocket, and MCP requests, organize them in collections, inspect detailed responses, and catch changes before they become bugs.
Build and send
- Send HTTP and HTTPS with common methods, headers, query parameters, JSON, forms, multipart data, raw data, and file bodies
- Write GraphQL queries and variables, inspect schemas, and review results
- Connect to WebSockets, send text or binary messages, and measure ping times
- Connect to MCP servers and browse tools, prompts, resources, and templates
Inspect and reuse
- Highlight JSON, HTML, XML, text, and binary responses; filter JSON and XML with JSONPath and XPath
- Review status, headers, size, redirects, timing, ports, HTTP protocol, DNS, and TLS details
- Keep searchable history and replay saved requests with their exact sent data
- Organize collections, use {{variables}} from environments, and save reusable authentication profiles
- Import Postman collections and environments plus OpenAPI or Swagger files; export Postman Collection v2.1 JSON
- Send HTTP requests from Apple Shortcuts
Advanced Labs with PRO
- Compare later runs with a pinned Request Time Machine baseline
- Test environments and authentication profiles in one matrix
- Detect response and network changes with API Change Radar
- Review MCP tool data and prompt-injection risks before a call runs
- Pair a Mac and route its requests through this device's network path
The free version supports up to 2 collections and 10 requests per collection. HTTP Request PRO unlocks unlimited collections and requests plus all Labs. Monthly and yearly plans renew automatically until canceled.
