YARC (Yet Another REST Client)

YARC is a user-friendly REST Client designed for developers to easily develop, test, and debug RESTful APIs. With YARC, you can save your favorite requests—including headers and payloads—for quick access later, and effortlessly manage them with import/export options. Your favorites sync automatically with your Google account, ensuring seamless access across devices.

Key Features:

  • History: Review previous requests and responses with a user-friendly filtering system.
  • Custom Headers: Choose from a vast selection of pre-made request headers or create your own.
  • Rich Response Display: Enjoy beautifully formatted responses with syntax highlighting for JSON, XML, HTML, and CSS.
  • Performance Metrics: Track the response time for each request made.
  • Multi-method Support: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD, and OPTIONS methods, with options for custom methods.
  • Extra Features: Enjoy HTTP Basic Authentication, responsive design, dark mode, and more—all completely free!

YARC ensures your privacy; the permission to access data is solely for sending requests and does not involve data collection or use.
