The Most Robust HTTP Client

Accuracy

RapidAPI for Mac has its own HTTP library: what you send is byte-for-byte what the server gets. Of course, all headers are supported. See the IP address of the server you connect to, perform DNS spoofing, and more. You can optionally use OS X standard libraries instead.

Performance

Using Grand Central Dispatch for efficient multithreaded processing, RapidAPI for Mac takes advantage of your Mac’s multiple cores to run compute-intensive tasks while leaving the UI smooth.

Native

Built on top of the latest Apple technologies, exclusively for macOS, RapidAPI for Mac integrates perfectly into your existing workflow. The app is entirely sandboxed to keep you safe.

Text Completion

RapidAPI for Mac has a rich database of HTTP headers, and also learns from your text entries. It also suggests dynamic values such as authentication schemes and environment variables.

Visualize

Whatever you send or receive RapidAPI for Mac will find the best way to display it. It supports web pages, images, PDFs, and has full syntax highlighting for most languages.

Cookies & Sessions

RapidAPI for Mac has advanced support for cookies. You can visualize the cookies stored, modify or insert some, ignore cookies for some requests. Easily import cookies from Google Chrome for quick debugging. Useful when working with auth sessions.

SSL Client Certificates

Some HTTPS servers require the client to authenticate using a certificate. Import yours from a PKCS #12 or PEM file, or pick one from the macOS Keychain. Imported certificates and private keys are stored encrypted.

Hypermedia APIs

RapidAPI for Mac is ideal for browsing hypermedia APIs. Every link found in the responses (JSON fields, headers, etc.) allows you to send a similar request to the target endpoint or create a new one with this URL. Use the built-in history to go back and view found requests.

Pawprint Sharing

You can easily share the request/response pair you see in RapidAPI for Mac with others in a snap. Pawprint gives you a shortened URL to paste anywhere (regardless of whether others have RapidAPI for Mac).
