Paw (HTTP & REST Client) App Reviews

still missing OAuth 2.0 capabilities - e.g. playground

A native mac HTTP client with plenty of useful features (like the cookie store in the last version), a great job made by the developer. Worth the price.

Application géniale pour requêter et organiser son travail… aucune équivalent, les extensions chrome peuvent se rhabiller. Juste 2-3 points, en anglais, si les développeurs me lisent : - Informations on performances would be great (transfer time / real time / …). And being able to launch multiple requests and save these statistics to a file - Random query parameters : user just writes an array of parameters that would be randomly chosen by paw when sending request… OR / AND different saved parameters for same route - Universal headers for all requests (or at least for a group of requests)… instead of typing (for example) Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate for every damned request !

I was about to write my own HTTP client app to test a private API, but then I found Paw. If you are a developer that needs to work with web APIs, this is what you need. You can easily configure your requests and use them on different servers, save the requests to use later, group them or even export them to Objectve-C, Ajax JS, cURL, Python, and several others. I usually don’t do reviews for the apps I download, but this one I felt like I needed to review. It’s really as awesome as it seems.

This software is simple amazing. Works perfectly and all the features just make everyday use much easier! Congratulations! Would love to see further integration with Automator, Applescript. Cheers

Minimal feature set, which doesnt make the app any easier to use than a terminal. * You cant duplicate requests, so you get to type in all your headers/vars all over again for every single request * It doesnt understand text/json; yeah, its the wrong MIME type, but its still very common. For anyone familiar with a scripting language and/or cURL, save your time and money and use that instead.

Paw is a well working app with great user experience. Just the tool you need to quickly test backend APIs (you know, for example when you need to know whether the bug is in your app or the backend ;-) ). Great work!

If you regularly work with APIs, both consuming other ones or implementing an own, this tool is absolutely essential. Saves a lot of time and makes your workflow so much easier. Thanks you for the great update!

Paw saved me so much time! It works perfectly in my workflow. Btw: If you’re not convinced or not sure, there’s a 30 day trial on the developer’s website. Thank you so much for making this. Worth every cent.

I do implement and test REST APIs quite regularly and tested quite some RESTClients so far, and yes you can do most of the features of Paw using any scripting language and/or cURL, but I find Paw way more comfortable. On big advantage of Paw over cURL is, that non-technical people seem to get the results much easier compared to showing them cURL results.

This app is great when it works. Nice interface, great workflow. Unfortunately, it crashes all the time.

I use Paw for a while now and its an absolut awesome and fantastic tool if you have to deal with network connectivity. The ability to concatenate requests and automatically use response values as values for new requests make Paw an outstanding tool for developing network facing apps. Paw changed my entire workflow from "trial and error with NSURLSession" to "First implement the whole network connectity in Paw, then use the Paw code generator to adapt code into the app". Keep going, Paw is one of the biggest time saver in my daily development work.

I use it almost every day and love it. Super nice interface, all the features I’d ever need. Thank you!

I’ve been looking for a great HTTP development and testing tool and this app does a great job! Especially being a developer it’s well worth the money I spent on it. I love the abililty to group and save calls as “projects”, as well as the ability to use parameters for different environments. You will not regret getting this app.

This app is truly the missing http client. So well made! I love it.

I started using a browser based tool, and very quickly got frustrated with the cookie and session caching inherent in it (I was testing an oAuth 2 server). I found Paw, and thought "this is kind of simple". Then I started using it more, and more, and found I was going back to it constantly as opposed to that other solution. Keep up the great work, and Im super happy about this purchase. It has and will save me a lot of time when testing and spelunking REST calls.

I love this app. I’ve been using Paw since it was new. The developer is friendly and responsive to inquiries but you won’t need to contact him- this app is solid. It formats your output nicely, lets you build basically any kind of request and you can save them all in separate files. I work with API’s everyday, both our own companies and various vendors. If you’ve tried other REST clients you know they tend to be a bit rough around the edges. This app has polish.

I use this app every day, and I’d gladly pay twice the price for it. I’ve used a bunch of HTTP Client tools for Mac, and this is far and away the best one.

An extremely well designed app that makes my job much easier to accomplish.

If you work with API endpoints at all, get this app right now. It was already great at what it does with dynamic values and export functions, but, add the new extension capabilities and it is simply awesome. It now has a permanent spot in my dock, right beside xcode.
