The modern API client that lives in your terminal.

<h1 align="center">Posting</h1>

<p align="center"><strong>A powerful HTTP client that lives in your terminal.</strong></p>

<p align="center">Posting is an HTTP client, not unlike Postman and Insomnia. As a TUI application, it can be used over SSH and enables efficient keyboard-centric workflows. Your requests are stored locally in simple YAML files, so they're easy to read and version control.</p>

Some notable features include:

- request tabs, so you can work on several requests at once
- "jump mode" navigation
- layered environments and variables, with a variables screen and autocompletion
- header autocompletion and collection search
- syntax highlighting
- response search, a collapsible JSON tree, and JSONPath filtering
- HTTP, GraphQL, and gRPC, including streaming
- server-sent events (SSE), with a live event log and JSON payload inspection
- request timing, and a persistent history of responses
- customizable keybindings and extensive configuration
- 37 built-in themes, plus user-defined themes
- open in $EDITOR/$PAGER
- import curl commands by pasting them into the URL bar, and export requests as curl commands
- import from OpenAPI, Postman and Bruno
- a command palette for quickly accessing functionality
- `posting remote`, so coding agents like Claude Code and Codex can send requests through the Posting you have open while you watch

## Jump mode

Press a shortcut, type a label, and jump straight to any part of the interface.

## Mouse support

Click, scroll, select text, and drag to resize panels.

## Explore your responses

Search response text, explore JSON as a collapsible tree, and filter it with JSONPath.

## gRPC and GraphQL

Send GraphQL queries and work with gRPC services, including interactive streaming.

```

Or download an archive for macOS, Linux or Windows from the [releases page](https://github.com/darrenburns/posting/releases).
Or, with [Go](https://go.dev/dl/) 1.25.5 or newer installed, run:
