HttpCaller

A simple terminal-based HTTP client built with Python, Typer, and Rich. It allows you to make HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) and view request and response data with a clean, colored UI. JSON responses are syntax-highlighted with line numbers.

Features

• Make HTTP requests using any method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.)

• Pass optional JSON body data with --data (-d) option

• Pass optional HTTP headers with --header (-H) option (key:value format)

• Pretty-print request and response data using Rich panels

• Syntax-highlight JSON responses with line numbers

• Handles invalid JSON responses gracefully
