# posting

posting is an open-source Python project with 12k GitHub stars. It is associated with automation, cli, developer-tools, http. The repository has seen commits within the last year.

# Posting

**A powerful HTTP client that lives in your terminal.**

Posting is an HTTP client, not unlike Postman and Insomnia. As a TUI application, it can be used over SSH and enables efficient keyboard-centric workflows. Your requests are stored locally in simple YAML files, so they're easy to read and version control.

Some notable features include:

- "jump mode" navigation
- environments/variables
- autocompletion
- syntax highlighting using tree-sitter
- Vim keys
- customizable keybindings
- user-defined themes
- run Python code before and after requests
- extensive configuration
- open in $EDITOR/$PAGER
- import curl commands by pasting them into the URL bar
- export requests as cURL commands
- import from Postman and OpenAPI specs
- a command palette for quickly accessing functionality

Visit the [website](https://posting.sh) for more information, the roadmap, and the user guide.

## Installation

Posting can be installed via [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) on MacOS, Linux, and Windows.

```bash
# quickly install uv on MacOS/Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# install Posting (will also quickly install Python 3.13 if needed)
uv tool install --python 3.13 posting
```

Now you can run Posting via the command line:

```bash
posting
```

Homebrew and NixOS are not officially supported at the moment.
