Everything you need to know

Welcome to the official documentation for Requester.DEV — the modern, collaborative API client. Learn how to organize your work, send requests, and collaborate with your team.

Introduction

Requester.DEV is a collaborative API client designed for teams and workspaces. It lets you build, debug, and organize HTTP and GraphQL requests, manage environments, and keep everything synced across your devices in real-time.

Built with modern, optimized technologies (Tauri + React), it delivers the agile, responsive feel of a native desktop application — so your requests, tests, and integrations happen without delay.

Getting Started

Get up and running in just a few minutes:

  1. 1

    Create your account

    Sign up for free at the registration page. An account lets you sync your work and collaborate with your team across devices.

  2. 2

    Download the desktop app

    Grab the native desktop application from the download page. Built with Tauri, it's lightweight, fast, and feels truly native.

  3. 3

    Create your first Workspace

    Open the app and create a Workspace to hold your environments, collections, and requests. Each Workspace is an isolated environment for one project or team.

  4. 4

    Send your first request

    Pick a method, enter a URL, add headers or a body, and hit Send. Your response — status, headers, timing, and body — appears instantly.

Workspaces

Workspaces let you organize your projects in an isolated, structured way. Each Workspace acts as a dedicated environment where you can configure variables, manage collections, and group your resources without interfering with other projects.

Use a separate Workspace per project, client, or team to keep credentials and configuration cleanly separated. You can manage your Workspaces at any time from the Workspaces dashboard.

Sending Requests

Compose a request by choosing an HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, and more), entering a URL, and adding query parameters, headers, or a body. Press Send to execute it and inspect the response — status code, headers, response time, and a formatted body.

Several body types are supported so you can model any request:

None

Send a request without a body, ideal for GET requests.

JSON

The most common format, with built-in syntax highlighting and validation.

GraphQL

A dedicated editor for your query plus a separate variables panel.

form-data

Multipart form submissions, including file fields.

x-www-form-urlencoded

Classic URL-encoded key/value form payloads.

Raw

Full control over the raw request body and its content type.

Environments & Variables

Avoid repeating yourself by storing reusable values as variables in your Workspace. Reference a variable anywhere in a request — URL, headers, query params, or body — using the double-brace syntax:

GET {{baseUrl}}/users
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}

Swap between environments (for example, development, staging, and production) to run the same requests against different backends without editing each one.

Team Collaboration

Requester.DEV was designed to boost teamwork. Invite members to your Workspaces, set permission levels (such as read or edit), and share structured resources so everyone works from the same source of truth.

Access control lets you manage your team with ease, making shared development far more productive — no more emailing JSON files or pasting requests into chat.

Sync & Offline-first

Synchronization happens in real-time using an offline-first architecture. When you make a change in a Workspace, it's saved locally first and synced to the cloud in the background whenever there's an internet connection. This ensures all your devices and your team have instant access to the latest data — without hiccups or data loss, even when you go offline.

Security & Privacy

Security is treated as a top priority. Your communication, credentials, and sensitive data are designed to be safe: all cloud transactions travel encrypted in transit using TLS, and robust access controls keep your data private.

We never sell or rent your personal data. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it free to use?

Yes! Requester.DEV is completely free to use for individuals and small teams. We believe in accessible developer tools for everyone.

How does sync work?

Synchronization happens in real-time using an offline-first architecture. Changes are saved locally first, then synced to the cloud in the background whenever you're online — so your devices and your team always have the latest data without hiccups or data loss.

Is my data secure?

Completely. All data is protected by robust access control, and every cloud transaction travels encrypted in transit using TLS. Only you and the people you explicitly authorize can access your sensitive information.

Does it support team collaboration?

Yes — collaboration is one of the pillars of the application. Share entire Workspaces, collaborate on edits, and keep every member in sync, with access control to manage who can read or edit.
