Rest – HTTP API Client

Let’s say it first… I have no shares in this company. And getting it for free is like a gift from the generous dev team. IT allows me to control my Philips Hue and other zigbee brands via the rest api of this bridge. But also my RTCA heating system. It integrates perfectly with Apple shortcuts and thus voice commands via Siri… I don’t need more, so happy!

Cannot set variables to non-string values.

The only way I could

I don’t like this app, very hard to use

I use my IPad as a primary device and this app fits in my workflow perfectly. This won’t be as important for most people but it is completely accessible with the VoiceOver screen reader so blind and low vision users have access to all the features in this app. The only thing I am missing at this point is the ability to retrieve a value from a response and assign it to a variable to use in subsequent requests. If that feature is in this app I can’t find how to use it. Otherwise all around great experience.

How do I have calculated current utc time stamp for a payload calculated?? What’s the point if I can’t calculate auto timestamp values for a variables.. only hard code strings?!?

Cant import or view json files. I really love the app interface though :(

Great app when you’re away from your laptop and need to issue some REST calls. Has all the features you’d expect, including headers, variable substitution, and different views of responses. Using a variable in the URL needs some help. No braces in the keyboard for URLs, so you have to copy & paste from some other field to get a variable into the URL. And using a variable (containing valid host address) for the host address incorrectly shows an error: “The entered URL does not include a host, please insert a valid host.”

I might just be stupid (normally am) but I would love the ability to define variables per request instead of having it project wide. I feel like this should be a feature and I just can’t find it. Other than that I’ve had no issues with it, great work!

I switched from HTTPBOT, one of your competitors due to lack of oauth2 support as well as lack of support (no documentation). I would wish this has oauth2 support (with redirect uri) and not just a access token. I do also wish is the support of using Siri shortcuts as a action. Please bring the advantage to Siri Shortcuts in the very near future.
