Request Items

ht uses HTTPie's request-item syntax to set headers, request body, query string, etc.

  • =/:= for setting the request body's JSON fields.
  • == for adding query strings.
  • @ for including files in multipart requests.
  • : for adding or removing headers e.g connection:keep-alive or connection:.
  • ; for including headers with empty values e.g header-without-value;.

Examples

# Send a GET request

ht httpbin.org/json


# Send a POST request with body {"name": "ahmed", "age": 24}

ht httpbin.org/post name=ahmed age:=24


# Send a GET request with querystring id=5&sort=true

ht get httpbin.org/json id==5 sort==true


# Send a GET request and include a header named x-api-key with value 12345

ht get httpbin.org/json x-api-key:12345


# Send a PUT request and pipe the result to less

ht put httpbin.org/put id:=49 age:=25 | less


# Download and save to res.json

ht -d httpbin.org/json -o res.json
