API Canvas
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your APIs don't stop needing testing when you step away from your desk. API Canvas brings a full-featured, native testing experience to iPhone and iPad—built from the ground up on Apple's Liquid Glass design language, not bolted onto a web wrapper. With API Canvas in your pocket, you have access to: ▶ Send Requests: Make HTTP calls using GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, or DELETE methods. ▶ Inspect Responses: Response bodies and headers are made easy to read and understand. Syntax highlighting makes HTML and JSON responses easy to read, even in dark mode. ▶ Stars & Collections: Mark your requests as starred or add them to a collection of your choice to make them easy to find. ▶ Import Requests: Bring in your request collection from Postman so you're not starting from zero. ▶ Request History: Your most recent requests can be found with the touch of a button. Re-run them at any time. Go Pro to unlock: ▶ Customize Collections: Bring your collections list to life by coloring each collection and adding an icon that suits your personality. ▶ Environment Variables: No need to update the auth token in every saved request when it changes. Write 'Bearer {{token}}' once, and update it across every request. ▶ Export Requests: Package up your API requests into a tidy little JSON file and send it over to Postman or keep it as a backup just in case. You worked hard to build your web service. Your APIs deserve a testing tool that works just as hard. ---- Privacy Policy: https://canadiancat.io/api-canvas/privacy Terms & Conditions: https://canadiancat.io/api-canvas/terms

SMART INPUT DETECTION Type or paste anything into the date converter: • Unix seconds or milliseconds • ISO 8601 & RFC 2822 strings • Natural-language expressions (e.g., "Monday", "3 weeks") • Durations (e.g., "90 minutes") 9 LIVE RESULT CARDS • Unix Timestamp Converter: Instantly switch between seconds, milliseconds, and relative time. • Date Converter & Parsing: Convert to ISO 8601, RFC 2822, SQL, HTTP Cookie, US, EU, and custom patterns. • Date Components: View year, month, day, weekday, hour, minute, second, quarter, and week number. • Ordinal Date: ISO ordinal, day of year, and ISO week. • Julian Date: Julian Day Number (JDN). • Date Arithmetic & Calculation: Add or subtract any combination of time units with live cumulative results. • World Clock & Timezone Converter: Compare your datetime across any global timezone. • Alternate Calendars: Convert dates to Hebrew, Persian (Solar Hijri), and Islamic (Tabular) formats. • Duration Converter: Convert any duration to milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and years.

DESIGNED FOR DEVELOPERS • Monospace values for easy reading • Sleek dark interface • No account required • Core features work entirely offline • Privacy-focused: analytics are used solely to improve app stability and performance
