And if you're feeling adventurous, you can even type in your custom methods. It's like having a Swiss Army knife for API requests right at your fingertips. Customization is the name of the game here.

And for those who like to keep it zen, there's a distraction-free mode to help you focus on what matters. But wait, there's more! Hoppscotch isn't just about looks. It's a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means you can install it on your device and enjoy instant loading, offline support, and low memory usage. It's like having a trusty sidekick that never lets you down, even when you're off the grid. When it comes to making requests, Hoppscotch is as straightforward as it gets. Choose your method, enter the URL, and hit send. You can even generate request code snippets for over ten languages and frameworks, making it a breeze to share your work with others. And if you're dealing with WebSockets, Server-Sent Events, or GraphQL, Hoppscotch has the tools to handle those too. Security is a top priority, and Hoppscotch offers a range of authorization options, from basic to OAuth 2.0. Plus, with features like proxy mode and i18n, you can access blocked APIs and experience the app in your language. It's all about making sure you have the tools you need to get the job done, no matter where you are. For those who love to keep things organized, Hoppscotch offers collections and workspaces to manage your API requests. You can create unlimited collections, folders, and requests, and even sync them across your devices. It's like having a personal assistant that keeps everything in check. And if you're working with a team, Hoppscotch has got your back.
