Resterm is a terminal-based API client that treats .http files as executable, versionable code, supporting HTTP, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSockets, and SSE with built-in workflows, mocks, and CI integration. It stands out by combining a rich TUI, SSH/Kubernetes tunneling, a scripting language, and headless Go execution, making API testing and automation fully code-first without accounts or telemetry.
