Stop Alt-Tabbing. Test your APIs exactly where you write them. We built Rapid Requiem because modern REST clients have mutated into bloated, subscription-based enterprise platforms. You shouldn't need a heavy Electron app just to send an HTTP request. Rapid Requiem is a lightning-fast, local-first REST API client built natively for Visual Studio Code. It completely bypasses CORS bottlenecks using a native Node.js engine and saves your request history directly to your local file system for effortless Git syncing. Zero context switching, zero electron bloat, and no cloud logins required. 🚀 Install via VS Code Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=webrizen.rapid-requiem 🌐 Official Website: https://rapid-requiem.webrizen.com 💻 GitHub Repository (Open Source): https://github.com/Webrizen/rapid-requiem Core Features: 1. Native Node.js Execution: Bypasses browser CORS limits. 2. Local-First Git Sync: Saves your request history directly to a .requiem/history.json file in your workspace. 3. Zero Electron Bloat: Runs entirely inside a lightweight VS Code Webview panel. 4. 100% Free & Open Source: No cloud logins, no telemetry, no paywalls. A Webrizen Product.
