What it is

API Dash is an open-source, cross-platform (desktop and mobile) API client built with Flutter.

• Organize requests into collections and folders with drag-and-drop rearrangement.
• Visually preview and download responses of various MIME types, including JSON, XML, YAML, HTML, SQL, images, PDF, audio, and video.
• Generate API integration code for multiple languages and libraries, such as cURL, Dart, Python, JavaScript, Kotlin, and more.
• Includes DashBot, an AI assistant for debugging requests, generating code, and creating documentation.
• Data is persisted locally and can be exported as HAR files.

Use cases

• Creating and testing HTTP and GraphQL API requests during development.
