Hoppscotch
Build HTTP requests in the browser and inspect their status, headers, and response body.
What it is
Hoppscotch is an open-source API development tool. Its web app lets you set the HTTP method, URL, parameters, headers, authorization, and body, then inspect the server response. The official project also provides tools for GraphQL and WebSocket.
Why it is selected
Checking whether an API works should not always require installing a desktop app or writing a test script first. Hoppscotch makes it quick to assemble a request and inspect the status and returned data during early debugging.
Who it suits
Developers who test APIs, reproduce requests, or inspect backend responses.
Useful for
- Sending an HTTP request and inspecting its status code and JSON response
- Adjusting parameters, headers, or authorization to reproduce an API issue
Usage note
In this review, the default GET request from the official web app returned 200 OK with a JSON response. Other protocols, account sync, collaboration, and proxy features were not tested. Do not paste production secrets or sensitive data into an unverified request.
