Import from cURL or Postman data

tip

EchoAPI for VS Code's built-in API client enables you to create and send API requests, including HTTP requests. You can send a request to an endpoint, retrieve data from a data source, or test an API's functionality— all without needing to enter commands in a terminal or write any code. When you create a new request and select "Send," the API response appears directly within EchoAPI for VS Code, making the process seamless and efficient.

To create a new request, let's simulate sending a request as follows (you can directly import the request using the cURL or Postman import feature):

Import cURL:

cURL
curl -X GET "https://httpbin.org/anything" -H "accept: application/json"

Enter the EchoAPI for VS Code, and create a new request using cURL.
