Send HTTP requests and inspect responses.
API Request Tester is a free browser-based tool that helps you send http requests and inspect responses. It is part of ToolsMonk's developer tools collection, so you can finish the job without downloading software, creating an account, or jumping between multiple websites.
This tool is especially useful for workflows such as quickly testing an api endpoint without installing a desktop client, checking a response's status code, headers, and json body, and debugging a request by tweaking headers or body and resending. Because it runs directly in your browser, you can use it on desktop, tablet, or mobile while keeping the process fast and easy for one-off tasks as well as repeat work.
API Request Tester is also a strong fit for people searching for api tester, http request, and rest api, because it combines a simple interface with instant results and privacy-friendly processing.

API Request Tester is a powerful free online tool available on ToolsMonk that helps you send http requests and inspect responses. Whether you're a professional, student, or casual user, our api request tester provides instant, accurate results right in your browser without requiring any software installation or account creation.
As part of our Developer Tools collection, this tool is designed with simplicity and power in mind. All processing happens client-side, ensuring your data remains completely private and secure. The tool works seamlessly across all modern browsers on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
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.
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
