Free tool for product managers

API request builder

Choose a method, enter a URL, add authentication and a JSON body, and see exactly what gets sent — as a raw HTTP request, a curl command you can give an engineer, and the fetch() code an AI agent would write. Common mistakes are flagged as you type. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Build a request

Try an example:

Nothing is sent — the tool only shows what the request would look like. Use placeholders, not real keys.

What each part means

The parts of an API request

Part Example What it does
Method POST The action: read (GET), create (POST), update (PUT/PATCH), delete (DELETE)
URL https://api.example.com/v1/tasks Which server and which resource
Query parameters ?status=open&limit=20 Filters, sorting and paging for reads
Headers Authorization: Bearer … Metadata: who you are, what format you send and accept
Body { "title": "Write release notes" } The data you send when creating or updating

The response comes back with a status code, headers and usually a JSON body. Use the HTTP status codes tool to decode the status and the JSON explainer to read the body.

Three ways to write the same request

Why the tool does not send the request

Sending requests from a web page runs into browser security rules (CORS) and would mean typing real keys into a website. Copy the curl command into a terminal, use an API client such as Postman, Insomnia or Bruno, or ask your AI agent to run it from your own project — with keys stored in environment variables.

Common mistakes the tool flags

Using this with an AI coding agent

Give the agent the exact request and one real example response: "Call POST /v1/tasks as shown in this curl command from a server function. Read the API key from the TASKS_API_KEY environment variable. On 201 add the task to the list; on 422 show the error message next to the form." The more concrete the request, the less the agent has to guess.
