Welcome to RESTK! This guide will help you get started with building, testing, and documenting your APIs.
What is RESTK?
RESTK is a powerful, native API development platform designed for developers who demand speed, privacy, and a beautiful interface. Built from the ground up with native technologies, RESTK delivers the performance and experience that modern developers expect.
Native Performance
Unlike browser-based tools, RESTK runs natively on your machine for blazing fast performance.
Key Features
- Request Builder - Intuitive interface for crafting HTTP requests
- Environment Management - Manage variables across different environments
- Collections - Organize and share your API requests
- Scripting - Automate workflows with JavaScript
- Real-time Sync - Keep your work synchronized across devices (requires a RESTK account on a paid plan)
Local Mode Is Free and Offline
Local workspaces need no account and no network connection — everything runs on your machine. Git Sync and Cloud sync both require a RESTK account.
