Webman API client showing an invoice request and successful JSON response

The request workspace keeps method, URL, parameters, response headers and formatted JSON visible in one view.

The problem

Common API clients have grown into large cloud products. The useful core is smaller: compose a request, send it, inspect the response and save the work for later.

What I built

I built the Vue 3 and TypeScript interface, Go and Gin request proxy, and a local SQLite collection store. It supports the common HTTP methods, query parameters, headers, JSON, form and raw bodies, formatted response content, timing and reusable request collections, with Docker packaging for a one-command local setup.

  • Go
  • Vue.js
  • TypeScript
  • SQLite
  • Docker

Result

A focused Postman-style workflow that keeps requests and collections on the developer’s machine

  • No account or hosted workspace required
  • Structured request and response inspection in one screen
  • Saved collections backed by a portable local SQLite database
