The Best way to test your REST API Code | Test Rest API with VSCode

In this video, we go over one of my favorite VS Code extensions: The Rest Client.

With This Extension - I can easily test queries to REST APIs within my Code environment. No need for complicated tools like postman or manually building queries. Simply put the URL in a text file, hit the hotkey and you can run a REST query.

Are you using VS Code as an API client yet?

*Useful Tip:* If you write these test requests in a file with .http extension then VSCode gives you a "Send Request" button in the editor automatically. Moreover, if you seperate each request with "###", then you get an individual button for each request

Command 'Rest Client: Send Request resulted in an error command 'rest-client.request' not found

[hxspzup]

Is this based on some kind of standard or something specific to VSCode ?

Thank you for the tutorial! I tried it on my own and I get an error saying "The connection was rejected". What would be the potential problem?

[MrSuhas]

How do you configure you connections and like password and access tokens

[MiSt]

you could've shown how to post data, that's pretty useful too

[pepemonleon]

Just answering: Why would be better use this extensions instead of Postman? I have tried to use it but It feels less productive than Postman. Unless I'm missering something. Thanks!
