## What it is
A terminal UI application for listing, browsing, and executing APIs defined with OpenAPI v3.0 and v3.1 specifications. Built in Rust with ratatui, it supports local or remote spec files, custom headers, multiple servers, and endpoint calls directly from the terminal.

## Use cases
- browse openapi spec in terminal
- test rest api endpoints from the command line
- explore api documentation without leaving the terminal
- call openapi-defined endpoints with custom headers
- view and run petstore or stripe api specs in a tui
- inspect openapi 3.1 yaml or json specs interactively

## When to choose
- you want a keyboard-driven terminal alternative to Postman or Swagger UI
- you need to quickly explore and call endpoints from an OpenAPI spec
- you work in a terminal-centric workflow or over SSH

## When to avoid
- you need a graphical API client with saved collections or environments
- your API is not described by an OpenAPI v3 spec
- you need automated API testing or CI integration
