The repository is the workspace

API workflows,
untangled.

v0.10.2Return to Your Runner Results

Your repo is the workspace. Write, send, inspect, and automate HTTP requests from readable files alongside your code. Keep requests, scripts, and tests versioned in Git, and use the same collection from the TUI, CLI, CI, or a coding agent.

Keyboard shortcuts from Noodle are shown for reference only. Use the buttons and menus to explore this demo. Environment edits stay in the demo.

Fast by default

Stay in the terminal and keep your hands on the keyboard.

Made to review

Keep requests and environments readable beside your code.

Ready to automate

Use the same collection from the TUI, CLI, scripts, CI, and agents.

Requests that belong in the repository.

Every request is a readable YAML file. Edit it in Noodle or your editor, review it in Git, and keep it beside the code it exercises.

collections/users/get.yml
name: Get user
method: GET
url: "$base_url/users/:id"
headers:
  Accept: application/json
params:
  id: 42

The whole exchange, without leaving the terminal.

Compose a request, send it, then move through body, headers, cookies, and timing from the same keyboard-first workspace.

Environment-aware without leaking secrets.

Switch between development, staging, and production variables. Secret declarations stay in the file while values live in the OS credential vault or process environment.

One collection, more than one way to work.

Explore interactively in the TUI, chain captured response values across ordered runs, enforce response assertions, or give coding agents the supported Noodle skill.

The complete workbench

The rest of the workflow

Focused enough to stay fast, complete enough to handle real API work.

Requests

URL, params, headers, body, and auth

Responses

Text, image previews, binary downloads, headers, cookies, and results

Collections

Folders, inherited context, and Git-friendly files

Scripting

Inline pre/post processing, seeded test data, and explicit persistence

Transport

Proxy, TLS, mTLS, and authentication

Portability

Import OpenAPI, Swagger, Postman, and Insomnia. Export OpenAPI and Postman.

Testing

Response assertions, scripted tests, and JSON Schema validation

Chaining

Capture response values and reuse them in later requests

Automation

Headless CLI runs, CI exit codes, and structured JSON results

Visualization

Search and explore JSON or XML responses as trees and tables

Put your API workflow where it belongs.
