What is HTTPie AI

HTTPie AI is an AI-powered assistant inside HTTPie that turns natural language into precise API requests. It helps developers and testers build HTTP requests, set headers and JSON bodies, and explain responses or errors in plain English. Available in the terminal and in HTTPie for Web & Desktop, it streamlines API testing, debugging, and exploration across REST and GraphQL. It can also suggest fixes, generate httpie or cURL commands, and guide authentication, making everyday API work faster and more reliable from first call to integration.

Main Features of HTTPie AI

• Natural language to requests: Describe what you want, and it generates HTTP methods, URLs, headers, and payloads.
• Response and error explanations: Interprets status codes, error messages, and payloads with actionable suggestions.
• Command generation: Produces ready-to-run httpie and cURL commands for terminal workflows.
• REST and GraphQL support: Helps craft REST endpoints and GraphQL queries or mutations with variables.
• Auth helpers: Assists with common authentication schemes like Bearer tokens and Basic Auth.
• Schema awareness: When you provide API docs or an OpenAPI schema, it can reference endpoints and parameters.
