> **TLDR:** HTTPie: an HTTP client designed for testing, debugging, and generally interacting with APIs and HTTP servers.
>
- Make a simple GET request (shows response headers and content):
`http {{https://example.com}}`
- Print specific parts of the content (`H`: request headers, `B`: request body, `h`: response headers, `b`: response body, `m`: response metadata):
`http {{-p|--print}} {{H|B|h|b|m|Hh|Hhb|...}} {{https://example.com}}`
- Specify the HTTP method when sending a request and use a proxy to intercept the request:
`http {{GET|POST|HEAD|PUT|PATCH|DELETE|...}} --proxy {{http|https}}:{{http://localhost:8080|socks5://localhost:9050|...}} {{https://example.com}}`
- Follow any `3xx` redirects and specify additional headers in a request:
`http {{-F|--follow}} {{https://example.com}} {{'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0' 'Accept-Encoding: gzip'}}`
- Authenticate to a server using different authentication methods:
`http {{-a|--auth}} {{username:password|token}} {{-A|--auth-type}} {{basic|digest|bearer}} {{GET|POST|...}} {{https://example.com/auth}}`
- Construct a request but do not send it (similar to a dry-run):
`http --offline {{GET|DELETE|...}} {{https://example.com}}`
- Use named sessions for persistent custom headers, auth credentials and cookies:
`http --session {{session_name|path/to/session.json}} {{-a|--auth}} {{username}}:{{password}} {{https://example.com/auth}} {{API-KEY:xxx}}`
- Upload a file to a form (the example below assumes that the form field is ``):
`http {{-f|--form}} {{POST}} {{https://example.com/upload}} {{cv@path/to/file}}`
