New Request - Reqbook

Overview

The New Request panel in rqb-ui lets you build and send any HTTP request interactively no spec file required. It’s the browser equivalent of rqb request.

Open it

Click New Request in the top navigation bar, or navigate to http://localhost:8080/request.

Layout

The panel has two columns:

Left Request builder: method selector, URL, headers, body, variable overrides, save-as path
Right Response viewer: status, body, headers, raw request

Features

Feature	Details
Method selector	GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS
Variable resolution	`{{variable}}` references are resolved from the active environment
Variable overrides	Add per-request overrides without editing env files
Body editor	Raw text editor; auto-shown for POST/PUT/PATCH
Save as spec	Enter a relative path to save the result as a markdown spec
Auto-scratch	Without a save path, responses are saved to the scratch workspace

Save to collection

Enter a relative path in the Save as spec field, e.g. apis/users/get-users.md. After sending, the request and response become a spec in your collection ready to run with rqb exec or from the endpoint browser.

Compare with rqb-cli

The browser New Request panel and rqb request use the same backend. Both save to the same workspace locations.
