Hookshot is a free browser-based REST API client designed for developers to test and debug APIs and HTTP requests seamlessly. This tool integrates directly into Chrome, allowing users to send various types of HTTP requests, such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and more without needing any additional installations. With its intuitive request builder, users can easily add custom headers, set authentication, and choose the request body format (JSON, XML, etc.).

The application features a beautiful response viewer that highlights JSON syntax for better readability, making it easier to inspect response status codes, headers, and payload sizes. Hookshot also supports cURL import and export, enabling users to quickly populate requests from existing cURL commands. Each request is saved automatically in the request history for easy retrieval, and the lightweight design ensures that it runs efficiently without consuming system resources.
