Send HTTP requests and inspect responses.
Paste or type your input here, API Request Tester is loading…
API Request Tester lets you send HTTP requests and inspect the responses straight from your browser, a fast, install-free way to check an endpoint's status code, headers, and body without opening a heavyweight client.
You control the method, URL, headers, and body, and see back the status, response headers, and a readable body (JSON is formatted for you). For quick verification during development, does this endpoint return what I expect?, that's usually all you need.
The one thing to understand is CORS. Because requests originate from your browser, they obey the same cross-origin rules as any web page: an API that doesn't send permissive Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers will block the call even though the API is fine. That's browser security, not a tool limitation, server-only APIs are better tested with curl or a desktop client.
Requests go directly from your device to the target API; ToolsMonk doesn't proxy or store them, so any tokens you include reach only the API you're calling, test trusted endpoints accordingly. Pair it with the HTTP Header Parser to dig into the headers a response returns.

Verifying an API works as expected during development
If you hit a CORS error, the API likely isn't meant to be called from a browser, test it with curl or a desktop client instead
Set the right Content-Type header (e.g. application/json) for POST/PUT, a frequent cause of failed requests
Only send real auth tokens to endpoints you trust, since the request goes directly to that API
