reqit Interceptor

Capture HTTP/S requests and send them to reqit for testing.

reqit is a local-first, git-native API client built for developers who are tired of bloated, cloud-dependent tools. No account required, no telemetry, no Electron — just a fast, native binary that starts in under 400ms and respects your machine. At its core, reqit is an HTTP client supporting GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, and OPTIONS with full response inspection including status, timing, headers, and formatted body. But reqit goes far beyond REST. It includes built-in clients for WebSocket and SSE for real-time bidirectional messaging, Socket.IO with Engine.IO v4 support for event emission and cookie/header passthrough, GraphQL with queries, mutations, subscriptions and introspection, gRPC via gRPC-web-text unary and streaming over HTTP POST, SOAP 1.1/1.2 with an envelope builder and WSDL parsing, and MQTT for publish/subscribe with QoS levels and message history. No other API client covers this many protocols out of the box. What truly sets reqit apart is its git-native approach to collections. Every collection, request, environment, and setting is stored as a plain JSON file in a .reqit/ directory at the root of your project. These are real files — you commit them to Git, diff them in pull requests, branch them per feature, and review API changes with the same tooling you use for source code. No proprietary database, no cloud sync, no export/import dance. Your API collection is just code. reqit includes a full built-in git client with status view, branch management, commit, push, pull, stash, and merge capabilities. PR preview mode gives you side-by-side diff review for API payloads. When conflicts arise, reqit provides a visual three-way merge UI for JSON, headers, and form-data. You can also add inline threaded comments on requests and collections for team review. For teams that need more than git alone, reqit offers an optional self-hosted WebSocket-based real-time collaboration server with RBAC (Viewer, Editor, Administrator roles), audit logs with an append-only tamper-evident trail and timeline viewer, and team invites via git ref-based permission-wrapped URLs. Reqit's collection runner executes requests sequentially or concurrently with programmable assertions against status codes, JSON body values, headers, and response time. Test suites support nested groups with full runner integration. Load testing generates configurable virtual users with latency percentile reporting. Contract testing auto-validates responses against linked OpenAPI specs. CI/CD generation outputs GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins pipeline YAML from your collections. The built-in mock server spins up a local HTTP server in one click, serving canned responses from your collections with configurable delays, overrides, and CORS settings — perfect for frontend development without a real backend. Security is first-class. reqit supports Bearer, Basic, API Key, Digest, NTLM, and OAuth2 with PKCE and refresh flows. Enterprise SSO covers SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect provider management. Secret vault integrations with 1Password, HashiCorp Vault, and AWS Secrets Manager keep credentials safe. A data masker uses regex to redact tokens, keys, and secrets from logs and exports. Air-gap mode disables all network features for restricted environments. The interceptor proxy captures browser traffic via a local HTTP proxy paired with a Chrome extension. Developer experience is where reqit shines. Keyboard shortcuts reach every action — 45+ registered commands across global, response, sidebar, and environment scopes. The command palette provides Cmd+K searchable actions with scoped context filtering. Response formatting offers a collapsible JSON tree view with Pretty, Raw, and Tree toggles and lazy expansion for large payloads. The theme system supports dark and light modes with system preference auto-detection. Every reqit user gets a public profile at reqit.dev/:username showcasing their collections, stats, and skills. The MCP server implements the Model Context Protocol for AI agent integration — collections, environments, history, and mock server all exposed as MCP tools. Agent Lens provides an agent-readiness mapper, linter, and exporter that scores your API collections for AI consumption. Reqit also handles the full API lifecycle. Design and edit OpenAPI specs with a built-in endpoint CRUD editor. Import OpenAPI yaml/json specs as collections and export collections as OpenAPI 3.0.3 JSON or Swagger UI HTML. Generate code snippets in cURL, JavaScript fetch, Python requests, and more. Import from Postman v2.1 with full pm.* script transpilation, Insomnia, Hoppscotch, OpenAPI, and raw cURL commands. A plugin system supports directory-based plugin discovery and install. The auto-updater checks GitHub releases with one-click install. The system tray enables background execution with notifications. And yes — telemetry is opt-in only, zero by default. The comparison is stark. Postman ships at 300MB+ with an account requirement, constant telemetry, degraded offline functionality, and per-seat SaaS pricing. reqit is under 20MB, requires no account ever, has zero telemetry, works fully offline with every feature, and is free and open source under MIT. Built by HalxDocs and available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. No Electron. No cloud. No login. Just a fast, native API client that treats your collections like real code.
