HTTPBot

Hey folks! HTTPBot is a powerful HTTP REST & GraphQL client for iOS, that's out now on the App Store. If you've ever wanted to check out an API and inspect responses while you're away from your workstation, this is the app for you!

Every dev knows this moment. First request → 200 OK, clean JSON 😌 Next request → 500 error 😵 APIs aren’t just about writing code— they’re about handling what breaks. Test before prod. Tools like: httpbot.io help. #APITesting #RESTAPI #Debugging #iOSDev

Day 1; Wow, so many API features.” Day 3: Why does this take 8s to open? Day 7: Back to curl. The API tooling bloat is real especially on macOS. Fast > fancy. Ship faster with tools that stay out of your way. Try: httpbot.io #APITesting #MacDeveloper #RESTClient

Still copy-pasting cURL commands to test APIs? There’s a better way. Discover API testing tools built specifically for Apple developers—native, powerful, and designed for your workflow. Read our blog here - lnkd.in/gQrDc2wY #APITesting #iOSDeveloper #AppleDev #DevTools

API testing isn’t just about checking responses. It’s also about protecting tokens, data, and endpoints. Learn how to manage security during API testing without slowing down development. #APITesting #APISecurity #API #CyberSecurity #SoftwareDevelopment #httpbot

It's confession time, developers. Have you ever said “It worked yesterday”? And then production broke today? #HTTPBot #APITesting #iOSDev #AppleEcosystem #RESTAPI #DevTools #APIClient

If you’re building APIs for Apple platforms, why are you still using tools that weren’t built for them? Meet HTTPBot - an API client crafted for the Apple ecosystem. Simple. Native. Powerful. #HTTPBot #APITesting #iOSDev #AppleEcosystem #RESTAPI #DevTools #APIClient

Debugging APIs is part science, part strategy. Broken responses, mysterious 4xx errors, and requests that work in one environment but fail in another. Learn practical REST API debugging: lnkd.in/gzZfQ-qB #APIs #RESTAPI #APITesting #APIDebugging #DeveloperTools

Most API tools feel like flying a spaceship. HTTPBot feels like sending a message. Fast. Simple. Powerful. #HTTPBot #DevTools #APITesting #iOSDev

If your API test needs coffee breaks, deep breaths, and patience… it’s not testing - it’s suffering 😂 #HTTPBot #DevHumor #APIClient #iOSDevelopers #DevWorkflow

Your iOS app looks solid… until the API says “surprise.” 😅 Common API testing mistakes — we’ve made them too. Which one hit close? 👀 #HTTPBot #iOSDev #DevTools #APITesting

95% of orgs faced API security issues in 2024. 23% suffered real breaches. If you’re a developer shipping APIs, this isn’t someone else’s problem. Here’s what’s breaking—and how to secure APIs before production. Link: httpbot.io/postman-altern… #APISecurity #RESTAPI #DevSecOps

APIs don’t always follow the roadmap. Good testing tools help you stay in control. Meet HTTPBot : httpbot.io #HTTPBot #APITesting #RESTAPI #iOSDev #MacOS #APIClient

REST APIs are everywhere in iOS dev. Context switching shouldn’t be. See how a native REST API client helps you test faster and stay productive. bit.ly/4jZzsMP #iOSDevelopment #RESTAPI #APITesting #HTTPBot #APITesting #RESTAPI #iOSDevelopment #DeveloperProductivity

@_prosumer_ Sure, will check and get back to you

@flogehring Sure, a few things, like being available on iOS and iPadOS (where you also get access to Shortcuts), and WebSocket support. Purely as a HTTP client however, Postman certainly has a larger set of features..

v2020.7 is out now, for both iOS, and (you guessed it) macOS Big Sur! itunes.apple.com/us/app/httpbot…

@getpostman @luckymarmot and @GetInsomnia were all inspirations for HTTPBot in one way or another, and this is just a small thanks from my side for what they've done for all of us developers so far

P.S: for those of you on iOS or iPadOS, do check out the About screen! 😉

I'd love to hear what you think of the app, and what new features you'd like to see. Give me a shout!

I built HTTPBot for iOS to solve my own pain point of having to make HTTP requests while away from my Mac. With this new release though, it just feels like it has finally come home
