Reqly – API Tester & REST Client Reqly is a fast and lightweight API testing tool designed for developers who want to send HTTP requests, inspect responses, and debug APIs directly from their mobile device. Whether you're testing endpoints during development, debugging backend services, or exploring APIs on the go, Reqly provides a simple and efficient way to interact with HTTP APIs. Core Features Send HTTP Requests Test APIs using common HTTP methods including GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, and more. Inspect Responses View response status codes, headers, and response bodies in a clean and readable format. Environment Variables Create environments such as Development, Staging, and Production and use variables like {{baseUrl}} to quickly switch between API servers. Custom Headers and Query Parameters Configure request headers, authentication tokens, and query parameters for any API request. Flexible Request Body Send JSON payloads, form data, or multipart requests depending on your API requirements. Save Requests in Collections Organize your API calls into collections so you can reuse them across different projects. Request History Quickly rerun previously executed requests without reconfiguring them. Import APIs Import existing APIs from Postman collections, Swagger or OpenAPI files, and cURL commands. Privacy First Reqly follows a local-first design. No account is required to use the app. All requests, collections, and environments are stored locally on your device. Reqly does not track your usage and does not collect analytics data. Built for Developers Reqly is designed for backend developers, mobile developers, QA engineers, and anyone working with APIs who needs a portable REST client on their phone or tablet. Test APIs anywhere and debug endpoints faster with Reqly.
