xh Command Examples

Friendly and fast tool for sending HTTP requests. Note: xh, written in rust, serves as an effective drop-in replacement for http. See also: http, curl. More information: https://github.com/ducaale/xh.

• Send a GET request:

xh {{httpbin.org/get}}

• Send a POST request with a JSON body (key-value pairs are added to a top-level JSON object - e.g. {"name": "john", "age": 25}):

xh post {{httpbin.org/post}} {{name=john}} {{age:=25}}

• Send a GET request with query parameters (e.g. first_param=5&second_param=true):

xh get {{httpbin.org/get}} {{first_param==5}} {{second_param==true}}

• Send a GET request with a custom header:

xh get {{httpbin.org/get}} {{header-name:header-value}}

• Make a GET request and save the response body to a file:

xh --download {{httpbin.org/json}} --output {{path/to/file}}

• Show equivalent curl command (this will not send any request):

xh --{{curl|curl-long}} {{--follow --verbose get http://example.com user-agent:curl}}
