What is rqb-ui?

rqb-ui is the browser interface to Reqbook, accessed via rqb serve. It provides a visual environment for:
  • Browsing and searching your API spec collection
  • Sending requests with interactive variable overrides
  • Building and running multi-step pipelines on a visual canvas
  • Editing spec files in-browser with live save-back to disk
  • Sending ad-hoc HTTP requests without creating a spec file first
  • Running in mock mode against recorded responses
