Thanks Brian for releasing me from my commercial iron chains. I'll be donating to this guy's effort.
Very well presented! I actually understood EVERYTHING you presented.

Keep'em coming!

This extension is a very useful. My machine cannot handle more and more instances of electron so it's a nice alternative to postman and insomnia

[michelalessandro]

Helped me a lot. Exactly the details that I needed and couldn't realize in docs. Thank you.

[SadeghMirzaee-fdlg]

Oh man, that was Efficient! Short and Effective!

[Mvrck]

It's very helpful. Please suggest how to pass JSON object in POST. Thanks in advance.

Do you know how it compares to the Thunder Client extension?

Thanks for sharing this video. Do you know how we can identify .env files in the root projects in an http file using the rest client?
it does not recognize my variables from dev.env and I couldn't find the related settings to set the path to the env file in the settings.json in .vscode directory. Any help would be appreciated.

This is great! Going to install this now :)

[sudharshanamohan]

This was really useful, how can I get specific json data from response ?

[KaushikGanguly]

Is there a way to run all requests at once?

[skipa]

Hi, great tutorial. I am new in learning APIs. Do you have step by step creation of Java APIs using VScode?

[jedinica]

The only issue I have is that sometimes link "Send Request" becomes not clickable and I have to re-open rest file. This happens a lot when I edit other files and switch back and forth to rest file to test.

[NoahNobody]

Is it possible to use this plugin with Supabase? I'm getting "message": "No API key found in request" even though I added an apikey and authorization key

[flaykaz]

hey, i got a probel in my case i cannotn make the .http file, any solution?

[darshan]

how we can write pre-request-scripts written in postman in rest client?

[kvEik]

Loving the extension, but if you close that response-window containing your actual json, it aint comming back. ever. Nuke extensions folder/data, VSC etc. Its gone. Now i have to press F1 and run "Rest.client.request" command manually instead of using the command CTRL+ALT+R.... Found a fix for this? HIT ME UP!

[avalagum]

I might miss something in the documentation. How to put comments in .http files?

[ADSNGreenLife]

I have [AllowAnonymous] attribute on HttpGet so how can send Authorization: None Rest Client???
