Stay in the terminal and keep your hands on the keyboard.
Open-source terminal REST client
Write, send, inspect, and automate HTTP requests from readable files without leaving your terminal. Keep every collection versioned beside the code it exercises, ready for the TUI, CLI, scripts, and coding agents.
curl -LsSf https://noodlerest.dev/install.sh | shStay in the terminal and keep your hands on the keyboard.
Keep requests and environments readable beside your code.
Use the same collection from the TUI, CLI, scripts, and agents.
Every request is a readable YAML file. Edit it in Noodle or your editor, review it in Git, and keep it beside the code it exercises.
name: Get user
method: GET
url: "$base_url/users/:id"
headers:
Accept: application/json
params:
id: 42
{
"id": 42,
"name": "Ada Lovelace",
"role": "developer"
}
Compose a request, send it, then move through body, headers, cookies, and timing from the same keyboard-first workspace.
Switch between development, staging, and production variables. Secret declarations stay in the file while values live in the OS credential vault or process environment.
