Getting started

From zero to your first saved request in a few minutes. Everything happens in the browser — there's nothing to install.

1. Create an account

Email verification is required. After you sign up, we send a verification link to your inbox. You must click that link before you can use the app. If it doesn't arrive within a minute, check spam and use the resend option on the verification screen.

2. Create a workspace

A workspace is the top-level container that holds all of your projects, collections, requests, flows, and environments. It's also the unit of sharing and billing. When you first sign in you'll be prompted to create one — give it a name (often your team or company name) and continue.

3. Create your first collection and request

Inside your workspace, create a collection to group related requests, then add a request to it:

Pick a method (GET, POST, …).
Enter the URL.
Add query params, headers, or a body as needed.

A good first request is a public test endpoint:

GET https://httpbin.org/get

4. Send it

Press Send. API Stash dispatches the request and shows you the full response: status, timing, headers, and a formatted body with syntax highlighting. You can search and pretty-print JSON, XML, and HTML responses.

5. Save it

Click Save to store the request in your collection. Every save is a versioned revision — API Stash keeps a complete, timestamped history with the author of each change, so you can always diff against or restore an earlier version. See history & revisions.

6. Invite a teammate

Open your workspace settings and invite a colleague by email. They'll get an invitation link; once they join, they can see and work on the same collections in real time. Roles control what they can change — see members & roles.
