What API Dash is

API Dash is a free, open-source API client for creating requests, examining responses, and producing integration code. It runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, and iOS/iPad, with desktop downloads and an App Store listing. The project lists HTTP, GraphQL, SSE and streaming, AI, WebSocket, MQTT, and gRPC requests among its protocols. Requests can be arranged in collections and folders, then renamed, reordered, duplicated, or deleted. Response views include status, errors, headers, body, and elapsed time, with previews for supported images, PDFs, and audio. Code generation covers JavaScript, Python, Dart, Kotlin, Go, Java, PHP, Ruby, Rust, and Swift. Imports are available for Postman, cURL, Insomnia, OpenAPI, and HAR collections. Data is stored locally and can be exported as HAR. The Apache-2.0 project offers help through Discord and GitHub issues.
