# Gud API
A lightweight, full-featured API client built into your editor. Test REST and GraphQL APIs, organize requests into collections, manage environments, and generate code snippets — without switching to Postman or another external tool.
Available on [OpenVSX](https://open-vsx.org/extension/gudlab/gud-api) and the [VS Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=gudlab.gud-api). Learn more at [gudlab.org/gudapi](https://gudlab.org/gudapi.html).
## Features
### Request Builder
- All HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS, HEAD
- Query params editor with bidirectional URL sync and enable/disable toggles
- Headers editor with dynamic key-value rows
- Multiple body types: JSON, Form URL Encoded, Multipart Form Data, GraphQL, plain text
- File uploads via multipart form-data with native file picker
- Auth: Bearer Token, Basic Auth, API Key (header or query param)
### GraphQL
- Dedicated GraphQL editor with separate Query and Variables panes
- Auto-sets method to POST and Content-Type to application/json
- Variables parsed as JSON and sent alongside the query
### Response Viewer
- Status code, response time, size, and format detection (JSON/HTML/XML)
- **Pretty / Raw / Preview** toggle — preview renders HTML in a sandboxed iframe
- **Search** — find text in the response body with match count and navigation
- **Cookies tab** — view Set-Cookie headers from the response
- **Copy** button for body or headers
### Code Generation
- Generate code from any request with one click
- Languages: cURL, JavaScript (fetch), Python (requests), Node.js (axios)
- Copy to clipboard
### Request History
- Every request is auto-saved to history (last 100 entries)
- View history in the sidebar with method, URL, status, and timestamp
- Click any entry to reload it into the request builder
- Persists across VS Code sessions
### Cookie Management
- Cookies from responses are automatically captured and stored
- Cookies are auto-sent on subsequent requests to matching domains
- Cookie Manager to view, enable/disable, and delete cookies by domain
- In-memory storage — cookies reset when VS Code restarts
### Collections
- Save and organize requests into collections and folders
- Click to load any saved request back into the builder
- Right-click to rename, delete, or create new folders
- Supports deeply nested folder structures
### Import
- Postman v2.x collections (including nested folders, headers, body, and collection variables)
- Thunder Client collections
- OpenAPI 3.x / Swagger 2.0 specs (paths become requests, tags become folders)
- Import via sidebar button or command palette
### Environments & Variables
- `{{variable}}` syntax in URLs, headers, and body — resolved automatically on send
- Collection-level variables imported from Postman (e.g. `{{base_url}}`)
- User-defined environments with key-value editor and enable/disable toggles
- Environment selector in the toolbar — switch between environments instantly
- Variable resolution order: environment overrides collection variables
### Editor Integration
- Activity bar icon for quick access
- Matches your VS Code theme automatically (light, dark, high contrast)
- Works without a workspace open (stores in VS Code global storage)
- Keyboard shortcut: Enter to send request
## Getting Started
1. Install the extension from OpenVSX or the VS Code Marketplace
