Projektgeschichte

Darren Burns created Posting as a terminal HTTP client using Python and the Textual interface framework. The 2.x line expanded collections, scripting, OpenAPI import, themes, authentication, and persisted history.

In 2026 the project announced Posting 3, a Go rewrite distributed as a single binary while retaining compatibility with existing Posting 2 collections and configuration.

Adoptionsgeschichte

Posting is distributed through Homebrew and project releases and stores requests as readable YAML files, making collections suitable for version control and team exchange. Its documentation also describes importing Postman collections and curl commands.

Posting 3 preserves Posting 2 configuration and collection compatibility while moving to a self-contained binary distribution.

Wie es verwendet wird

Users compose HTTP requests interactively, organize `.posting.yaml` request files into collection directories, switch variable environments, inspect responses, and import or export curl commands.

The configuration path can be printed with `posting locate config`; its documented default is `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/posting/config.yaml`, normally `~/.config/posting/config.yaml`. Environment files and request files may contain secrets, but they are user-selected project files rather than a fixed credentials file. Posting 3 stores OAuth tokens in the operating system credential store when available.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Posting brings a graphical API-client workflow into a terminal-native TUI: request editing, collections, environments, authentication, response inspection, history, and keyboard navigation remain available without leaving the shell.

Its plain YAML request format and curl import/export make it attractive to users who want inspectable, version-controlled API fixtures rather than an opaque desktop-client database.
