What Vegha is

Vegha is a local-first desktop app for testing APIs, with an included command-line tool. It supports HTTP/REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket, and SOAP 1.1/1.2 with WSDL. Authentication methods include API Key, Bearer, Basic, Digest, NTLM, OAuth1, OAuth2, AWS SigV4, WSSE, and mTLS. Collections are plain-text Bruno-style .bru files, and importers cover Bruno, Postman, Insomnia, OpenAPI/Swagger, and WSDL. The app can resolve secret:// references at send time from Azure Key Vault and AWS Secrets Manager. Its git interface handles branching, commits, pushes, pulls, stashing, and three-pane merge conflict resolution. Pre-request and post-response scripts run in a sandboxed Jint JavaScript engine with a test runner. The CLI runs collections using the desktop app’s engine and can generate JUnit XML for CI. Vegha says it has no telemetry, crash reporting, or analytics, and works offline except for API requests users explicitly send. It is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The MIT-licensed app and CLI are free for commercial use and require no account.
