ReqFlow API Client

Build, send, and inspect REST API requests without leaving VS Code.

ReqFlow is a lightweight REST API client built directly into VS Code. Create, organize, and test API requests without switching between tools.

ReqFlow in VS Code with a request builder, collections, response, and request history

Features

  • Build requests with common HTTP methods, query parameters, headers, JSON or form bodies, and Bearer or Basic auth.
  • Send requests, inspect response bodies and headers, cancel in-flight requests, and reopen recent history.
  • Organize saved requests in collections and folders; duplicate, rename, and open requests in pinned tabs.
  • Use named environments with {{variable}} substitution and a status bar picker.
  • Import requests from cURL or copy a saved request as cURL.

Quick start

  1. Install ReqFlow: REST API Client & Tester from the VS Code Marketplace, or from the terminal:

    code --install-extension piyushpriyadarshi.reqflow-api-client
    
  2. Click the ReqFlow icon in the activity bar.

  3. Open Sample GET under Collections, choose local in the status bar if needed, and press Send.

Privacy and storage

  • Request data, environment values, and response history are stored in VS Code global storage on your machine, not in your workspace. History includes the request details and response.
  • When you send a request, ReqFlow sends it from the VS Code extension host to the URL you chose. Auth details are included when configured. Use credentials only with APIs you trust.
  • ReqFlow has no account, cloud sync, or telemetry.

Support and feedback

See CHANGELOG.md for release notes.

ReqFlow is an independent project and is not affiliated with Postman or any other API client mentioned here.
