About Request Eagle

Request Eagle is an innovative open-source API client designed for developers seeking a fast and efficient alternative to traditional tools like Postman. Built with Rust and leveraging GPU acceleration, it offers rapid response times—answering keystrokes within just 0.36 seconds after launch. Its architecture eliminates web views, providing a lightweight, native experience that keeps requests stored as TOML files, making version control and collaboration straightforward. Additionally, Request Eagle supports Postman-style scripting with pm.* scripts and features a CLI optimized for AI agent integration, making it highly versatile for modern development workflows. Targeted at developers, API testers, and automation engineers, this tool emphasizes speed, transparency, and open-source flexibility, appealing to those who prefer a locally hosted, customizable API client without reliance on web-based interfaces.
