Hey all, it’s been almost a year since we first shared Scalar’s API Reference platform on this subreddit!

It’s been a pretty crazy year with Scalar now being downloaded > 1MM times a month (across all our packages), and we’ve been able to do some awesome partnerships with companies like gitbook to power all their users API Testing 😬

From day one the plan was always to release a dedicated Open Source, offline first API Client alongside our API reference platform and while it’s still early we’re ready to start sharing it with the world

Here’s a link to our repo where you can download or try an online version of the client

Some quick points for those curious

  • Built around the OpenAPI Spec (open format so no proprietary lock in) Offline First (and always will be)
  • Offline First (and always will be)
  • Deep integration with Open Source Frameworks
  • Integrates with Scalar Docs

here’s what we’re (planning on) releasing in coming months:

  • release windows app
  • pre/post request scripts
  • request chaining
  • local vault
  • paid sync workspaces (with docs)
  • Postman/Insomnia imports

If anyone has any feedback
