Hoppscotch Desktop is an API client for developers and testers working with web services on Windows. It can be used to explore an endpoint, investigate unexpected responses, or check a series of calls during development. Requests can reach services running on the same PC or within a private network, including endpoints that browser restrictions may block.

Send requests from your PC to inspect local services and check responses without opening a browser.

Build calls by choosing an HTTP method and setting the URL, parameters, headers, credentials, and payload. The app also handles GraphQL, WebSocket, Server-Sent Events, Socket.IO, and MQTT connections. Save calls in collections, keep values in separate environments, and run JavaScript before sending a request. Tests can check returned data, while a collection runner processes saved calls in order.

Features:

  • Inspect response status, headers, timing, and body
  • Configure API keys, OAuth, and bearer tokens
  • Run saved requests in collection order
  • Create mock responses for unfinished services
  • Share collections through team workspaces
  • Import and export API request data
Windows 10 or Windows 11
