Posting

A powerful HTTP client that lives in your terminal.

Posting is an HTTP client, not unlike Postman and Insomnia. As a TUI application, it can be used over SSH and enables efficient keyboard-centric workflows. Your requests are stored locally in simple YAML files, so they're easy to read and version control.

Some notable features include:

• "jump mode" navigation
• environments/variables
• autocompletion
• syntax highlighting using tree-sitter
• Vim keys
• customizable keybindings
• user-defined themes
• run Python code before and after requests
• configuration
• "open in $EDITOR"
• a command palette for quickly accessing functionality

Installation

Posting can be installed via uv on MacOS, Linux, and Windows.

uv is a single Rust binary that you can use to install Python apps. It's significantly faster than alternative tools, and will get you up and running with Posting in seconds.

You don't even need to worry about installing Python yourself - uv will manage everything for you.

# quick install on MacOS/Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# install Posting (will also quickly install Python 3.12 if needed)
uv tool install --python 3.12 posting

uv can also be installed via Homebrew, Cargo, Winget, pipx, and more. See the installation guide for more information.

uv also makes it easy to install additional Python packages into your Posting environment, which you can then use in your pre-request/post-response scripts.

Prefer pipx?

If you'd prefer to use pipx, that works too: pipx install posting.
