Getting started with Postrider
Send your first request, use variables, and save your work to GitHub in a few minutes.
1. Send a request
- Open the workspace.
- Pick a method, enter a URL such as
https://api.github.com/users/octocat, and press Send or Ctrl/Cmd+Enter. - Read the status, time, size, headers and body in the response panel.
2. Use environment variables
Create an environment, add a variable such as base_url, then write {{base_url}}/users in the URL. Variables also work in headers and bodies. Built-ins like $uuid and $timestamp need no setup.
3. Save to GitHub
- Sign in with GitHub, or paste a personal access token in the GitHub settings.
- Choose or create a repository and branch for your project.
- Save a request with Ctrl/Cmd+S. It is committed as a JSON file you can review like any other change.
