About this app

Test REST APIs anywhere, anytime. API Tester is a simple, lightweight HTTP client that lets you send requests to Web APIs and REST APIs from your Android phone or tablet and check the response in seconds.

Demo an API in a client meeting, check a production endpoint while you are out of the office, or look at a JSON response without opening your laptop. The method, URL and Send button stay at the top of the screen, so you can send a request from anywhere in the app.

▼ Who is this for?
・Developers who want to test APIs from a phone or tablet
・Engineers who need to check API behavior in meetings or while traveling
・Backend and REST API developers who want a quick way to hit an endpoint
・Anyone who wants to read JSON responses in a clean, formatted view
・Users who find desktop API tools too heavy for a quick check

▼ A Note from the Developer
API Tester was built for one simple need: hit an API quickly and see the response, without complex setup. Install it and start testing REST APIs in seconds. The app is supported by a small banner ad at the bottom of the screen. We welcome your feedback and feature requests.
