Save the response, not just the request

An example pairs a request with the response it produced. Keep the success case, the 400 and the 404 side by side under one request, and switch between them instantly.

  • Request and response. Method, URL, params, headers and body on both sides.
  • Many per request. Keep the 200, the 400 and the 404 side by side without duplicating anything.
  • Try it. Open an example and branch a fresh draft request from its configuration.

A record of how the API actually behaved

Documentation describes what an endpoint should return. An example records what it did return, on a real call, including the cases nobody wrote down.

Save several per request

Examples attach to their parent request and appear as collapsible children in the sidebar. That means one request can carry the happy path, the validation failure, and the not-found case at the same time β€” without duplicating the request three times or editing it back and forth.

Branch a new request from one

Open a saved example and click Try it in the URL bar. Requestly opens a new draft request pre-filled with the example’s configuration, so you can branch from a known-good call without disturbing the original.

Why developers switched

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… verified user

Requestly is the first API client that has genuinely replaced Postman for me. Everything runs locally, so my API data never goes through a cloud server. No bloat, no pressure to upgrade.

Postman stopped fitting the way our team works. We wanted our API collections in Git, not locked inside another tool. Requestly stores everything as plain JSON files, giving us full control over versioning and reviews.

We migrated from Postman to Requestly's API Client and it has been a great experience. Storing collections locally, keeping them in Git, and working with simple JSON files made the transition seamless.
