Usage Overview

piespector is built around a structured request workflow in the terminal.

  1. Create or import collections on Home.
  2. Select a request in the sidebar.
  3. Open the request editor with e.
  4. Move across Request, Auth, Params, Headers, and Body.
  5. Send with s or :send.
  6. Review the response inline or open the response viewer.
  7. Use History to inspect or replay previous runs.
  8. Use Env to manage named variable sets.

Home is where most work happens: collections, folders, requests, editing, sending, and responses.

See Home for the detailed page guide.

Env manages named env sets and key/value pairs used by placeholders.

See Env for movement and commands.

History lets you filter, inspect, and replay recorded request snapshots.

See History for the detailed view model.

Help is opened from :help and shows a context-aware in-app reference.

See Help.
