From beginner tutorials to advanced techniques, find everything you need to test APIs efficiently on the go.
Most people think of APIs as something reserved for developers sitting behind screens filled with code. But what if your iPhone could quietly run API calls in the background while you go about your day? That is exactly what HTTPBot does. If you have HTTPBot installed on your iPhone, you…
Here’s what nobody tells you before you build your first real-time iOS app. You might have spent three days building a beautifully polling REST endpoint. Requests go out every two seconds. The UI updates. Everything looks fine, until you look at the battery drain graph, notice the network tab lighting…
What if the tool your whole team uses for API testing simply doesn’t exist on the one device you’re holding right now? That’s the quiet frustration many developers run into the first time they search for a Postman iOS app on the App Store. Postman is everywhere: on desktops, in…
If you have ever worked on a project with more than a handful of API endpoints, you already know what happens without a proper structure in place. Requests pile up, naming becomes inconsistent, and within a few weeks, nobody is quite sure which request does what. That is where API…
You send a request. You wait. You get a three digit number back. That tiny code holds the entire story of what happened. Did your API call succeed? Did it fail because of something you sent? Or did the server itself stumble? Understanding HTTP status codes is not just about…
A year ago, testing an AI endpoint meant pasting a cURL command into a terminal and parsing the response manually. Today, developers are hitting OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, and a growing list of open-source model APIs dozens of times a day. They are tweaking system prompts, validating structured outputs,…
If you have spent any time testing APIs on Apple devices, chances are you have come across Paw (which is now RapidAPI). It has long been a favorite among developers who prefer a polished native experience on macOS. But when it comes to iPhone and iPad, the options become limited.…
There is a certain moment that almost every developer recognises. You are reading through API documentation, a Stack Overflow answer, or a colleague’s Slack message, and you see a cURL command staring back at you. It works perfectly in the terminal but you want to run it inside a proper…
What is JSONPath query? A complete beginner’s guide If you have ever worked with APIs or tested web services, you have almost certainly dealt with JSON responses. They come back packed with data like nested objects, arrays, key-value pairs and finding the specific value you need can feel like searching…
There is a quiet frustration many developers have felt but rarely articulate. You test an API on your laptop. Everything feels fast, familiar, and under control. Then you switch to your phone or tablet, and suddenly the experience changes. Buttons move. Features disappear. Workflows break. What felt simple becomes awkward.…
