Requests

• Platform Availability: Windows App · VS Code Extension (shared shell)
• Overview: The request builder is where you compose method, URL, params, auth, headers, body, scripts, and tests. Send from API mode and inspect the response pane.

Request tabs

How It Works (Windows App)

1. Open or create a request in the collections sidebar.
2. Choose method (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS) and protocol if not REST.
3. Set URL (supports

   {{baseUrl}}

   and other environment variables).
4. Fill Params / Headers / Body as needed.
5. Press Send or Ctrl+Enter.
6. Inspect Pretty / Raw / Headers / Explorer / Checks in the response viewer.

How It Works (VS Code Extension)

1. Run Signoff Studio: Open.
2. Same builder UI as Windows.
3. If the response split is hidden, run Signoff Studio: Restore Response Panel.

Code / Configuration Examples

GET {{baseUrl}}/get?foo=bar
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}

cURL import example:

curl -X POST 'https://httpbingo.org/post' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"hello":"signoff"}'

JSON body:

{
  "name": "Signoff Studio",
  "active": true
}

Test script:

qa.test("status is 200", () => {
  qa.expect(qa.response.code).to.equal(200);
});

Edge Cases, Troubleshooting & Pro-Tips

• Unresolved

  {{vars}}

  usually mean the wrong environment is selected.
• Large responses: raise maxResponseMb in Settings (Windows overlay) or trim the payload.
• Use Explorer + Extract to promote JSON paths into variables for the next request.
• Save response as Example for regression-friendly fixtures.
