🇬🇧 ReqX - English

ReqX is a local-first API client built strictly for VS Code. The goal is to provide a fast, integrated way to test endpoints without the bloat of standalone applications, while fixing common annoyances like managing auth tokens and local data security.

Why use ReqX?

1. Your data is actually encrypted
Most API clients store your saved requests, environment variables, and headers in plain text. ReqX forces AES-256 encryption on all your local workspace data by default to keep your API keys and secrets safe.

2. Domain-based header memory
Instead of manually typing an Authorization header every time you test a new endpoint, ReqX remembers the headers you previously sent to specific domains. When you hit that domain again, it prompts you to auto-import them.

3. Native VS Code experience
ReqX uses the Monaco Editor (the exact engine behind VS Code) for managing request payloads. You get native syntax highlighting, real-time JSON validation that catches syntax errors before you hit send, and familiar keyboard shortcuts.

Core Features

• cURL Import & Export: Paste a cURL snippet and ReqX parses the URL, method, headers, and body automatically. You can also export your current configuration out to code.
• Environments & Variables: Switch between environments (e.g., Dev, Staging) and inject dynamic variables using {{my_var}} anywhere in your URLs, headers, or body.
• Flexible UI Layout: Adjustable split-pane design with a drag handle so you can maximize the response viewer when reading large payloads.
• Multipart File Uploads: Built-in support for multipart/form-data with drag-and-drop file attachment and visual image previews.
• Cancel In-Flight Requests: Hit Esc or click "Cancel" to kill hanging network connections immediately without needing to reload the extension entirely.
• Cross-Workspace History: Keeps track of your request history, intelligently merging identical requests across different workspaces to reduce clutter.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Extension Settings

You can adjust ReqX behaviors natively via the VS Code Settings (Ctrl + ,):

• reqx.timeout: Request timeout in seconds before auto-aborting (default: 30).
• reqx.encryption: Toggle robust local data encryption (default: true).
• reqx.encryptionAutoReEnableDays: Re-enables encryption automatically after a set period if it was manually disabled.
• reqx.bypassJsonValidation: Allows sending malformed JSON payloads (useful for negative testing).
• reqx.autoMergeRequests: Controls history merging behavior when switching between different projects.
