RequestFlow

Integrated HTTP client for VS Code — like Postman, but inside your editor.

Features

• Multi-API workspace — Organize multiple APIs inside a single .requests/ folder
• Folder-based organization — Group requests by controller or feature using nested folders
• Environment inheritance — Global variables with per-API overrides
• Built-in auth — Bearer, Basic, API Key with variable interpolation
• Zero dependencies — Uses native node:http/node:https for HTTP requests
• Git-friendly — Each request is a JSON file, perfect for version control
• Svelte 5 UI — Modern webview interface with VS Code native theming
