Your First Request

This guide walks you through sending your first HTTP request in under 2 minutes.

Step 1 — Enter a URL​

Click the URL bar in the center of the screen and type a URL:

https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1

Step 2 — Choose a method​

The method dropdown to the left of the URL bar defaults to GET. Leave it as GET for this example.

Step 3 — Send the request​

Click the Send button (or press Ctrl+Enter).

Step 4 — View the response​

The response panel appears below (or to the right, depending on your layout):

  • Status — 200 OK shown as a green badge
  • Time — how long the request took in milliseconds
  • Size — response body size
  • Body — the JSON response, syntax-highlighted and formatted
  • Headers — the response headers

Step 5 — Save the request​

To save the request to a collection:

  1. Click Save (or press Ctrl+S)
  2. Choose an existing collection or click + New Collection
  3. Give the request a name
  4. Click Save

The tab title updates to show the saved request name, and the unsaved indicator ● disappears.
