Dragonfly gives you a full request builder inside VS Code. Pick a method, set the URL, add what you need, and press Send. The response opens next to your code, so there is no second app to switch to.

A request and its JSON response, side by side with your code.

​
Build a request

A request is made of these parts:

Method and URL

Choose GET, POST, PUT, PATCH or DELETE, and set the URL. Use {{variables}} from your environment anywhere in the URL.

Params

Add query parameters as key and value pairs. They are kept in sync with the URL.

Headers

Set request headers such as Content-Type or Accept.

Body

Send a JSON or raw body for methods that take one.

Auth

Add Bearer, API key or Basic auth. See Authentication.

Send

Run the request and read the response inline.

​
Read the response

When a request returns, Dragonfly shows the response next to your code with:
  • Status of the response
  • Size of the payload
  • Timing for how long the request took
The body is rendered so you can read JSON responses clearly.

​
Reuse a request

Save any request into a collection to keep it around, then open or resend it whenever you need it. Every request you send is also saved to Request history automatically.
Need the same request in a script? Copy it out as cURL, Node.js, Python, Go, PHP, Java or Rust. See Copy as code.
