What API Dash is

API Dash is a free, open-source API client for creating requests, examining responses, and generating integration code. It supports HTTP, GraphQL, SSE and streaming, AI, WebSocket, MQTT, and gRPC requests. 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. The client generates code for JavaScript, Python, Dart, Kotlin, Go, Java, PHP, Ruby, Rust, and Swift. Collection imports are listed for Postman, cURL, Insomnia, OpenAPI, and HAR. App data is persisted locally on disk and can be exported as a HAR file. Downloads are available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, including several Linux CPU architectures, and an iOS/iPad App Store version is listed. The project uses the Apache-2.0 license. Help is offered through Discord, while bug reports and feature requests can be submitted through GitHub issues. No paid plans are stated, and the product site and repository reviewed list no security certification or compliance standard.
