What Vegha is

Vegha is a desktop API testing app with an included command-line tool. It supports HTTP/REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket, and SOAP 1.1/1.2 with WSDL, plus documented authentication options including API Key, OAuth2, AWS SigV4, and mTLS. Collections are stored in plain-text Bruno-style .bru files, and importers cover Bruno, Postman, Insomnia, OpenAPI/Swagger, and WSDL. Users can manage branches, commits, pulls, pushes, stashes, and merge conflicts through its git interface. Pre-request and post-response scripts run in a sandboxed Jint JavaScript engine with a test runner; the CLI uses the desktop app’s engine and can produce JUnit XML for CI. Vegha can resolve secret references from Azure Key Vault and AWS Secrets Manager when requests are sent. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with no account required. Vegha says it has no telemetry, crash reporting, or analytics and works offline except for API requests users explicitly send. Direct-download builds also check for updates. It is MIT-licensed and free for commercial use.

Good

  • Imports collections from several listed formats.
  • CLI can produce JUnit XML for CI.
  • Available on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • MIT-licensed with no account required.

Who it suits

Vegha suits people who use an API client throughout their workday, particularly those who want a desktop app and CLI with shared collection support. Its importers, git interface, scripting, and CI output may fit teams managing API tests in version control.

Verdict

Vegha combines a broad set of API protocols with collection imports, scripting, git tools, and a CLI. Its lack of team workspaces is worth noting for users who need shared workspace features.
