API Request Tester — Send GET/POST/PUT/DELETE with Headers & Body Online

Test APIs Without Leaving Your Browser

I added an API Request Tester to devnestio — a lightweight Postman-like tool that runs entirely in the browser.

🔗 Try it → api-tester-dev.pages.dev

Features

  • 7 HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS
  • Custom request headers — add/remove key-value pairs
  • Request body editor — with Format JSON and sample body buttons
  • Query params editor — auto-builds the full URL
  • Response viewer:
    • Status badge with color (2xx green, 3xx yellow, 4xx/5xx red)
    • Response time (ms) and size (B/KB)
    • JSON syntax highlighting (keys, strings, numbers, booleans, null)
    • Response headers table
  • 5 quick example requests to try immediately

Quick example requests
