Requestkit

Local HTTP request toolkit for development. Test Stripe webhooks, GitHub hooks or any HTTP endpoint locally. Your data stays private, works offline and runs fast without network latency.

If you have a Ruby environment available, you can install Requestkit globally:

gem install requestkit

Start the server:

requestkit

This starts Requestkit on http://localhost:4000. Send any HTTP request to test:

curl -X POST http://localhost:4000/stripe/webhook \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"event": "payment.succeeded", "amount": 2500}'

Open http://localhost:4000 in your browser to see all captured requests with headers and body.

requestkit --port 8080

By default, requests are stored in memory and cleared when you stop the server. Use file storage to persist across restarts:

requestkit --storage file

Requests are saved to ~/.config/requestkit/requestkit.db.

requestkit --storage file --database-path ./my-project.db

Create a configuration file to set defaults:

User-wide settings (~/.config/requestkit/config.yml):

port: 5000
storage: file

Project-specific settings (./.requestkit.yml):

storage: memory
default_namespace: my-rails-app

Configuration precedence: CLI flags > project config > user config > defaults

Requestkit automatically organizes requests by namespace using the first path segment:

# Namespace: stripe
curl http://localhost:4000/stripe/payment-webhook

# Namespace: github
curl http://localhost:4000/github/push-event

Filter by namespace in the web UI. Requests to / use the default_namespace from your config.
