API-TUI is a 🟢 lightweight, terminal-based API testing utility built for developers who value speed, terminal-centric workflows, and high-authority design. Born out of the need for a distraction-free environment to validate endpoints, API-TUI provides a sleek ⚫ "command center" interface that eliminates the bloat of traditional GUI-based API clients.

It leverages the power of the Textual framework to deliver a responsive, keyboard-driven experience with a 🔘 "Furistic" (Futuristic Heuristics) aesthetic that makes your terminal feel like a high-end HUD.

API-TUI is built on a precise color palette optimized for clarity and high-authority terminal aesthetics:

• 🚀 Rapid Testing: Send GET and POST requests in 🟢 seconds without leaving your CLI.
• 🎨 Furistic UI: A high-contrast ⚫ neon-green aesthetic designed for maximum focus and low eye strain.
• 📋 Header Support: Easily add custom headers using a simple key:value syntax.
• 📦 JSON Body: Full support for JSON payloads in POST requests with real-time error handling.
• ⚡ Split-Panel Layout: Visual separation between your 🔘 request configuration and the server's response.
• ⌨️ Keyboard Centric: Fully navigable via keyboard for maximum 🔵 developer velocity.

Ensure you have Python 3.8+ installed, then install the dependencies via terminal:

pip install textual requests

To launch the 🟢 API-TUI console, run:

python main.py

1. 🟢 Select Method: Toggle between GET and POST.
2. ⚫ URL: Enter the target API endpoint.
3. 🔘 Headers: Add headers as Key:Value. Multiple headers can be separated by commas.
4. 🔵 Body: For POST requests, enter valid JSON into the body field.
5. 🟢 Send: Click "Send Request" or press Enter to see the live response.

This project follows the Furistics design framework. For a deep dive into the UX heuristics and aesthetic choices, see 🧪 FURISTICS.md.
