Quick Start

Get up and running with Flamingo in under 10 seconds. No account, no onboarding — just a clean workspace.

Launch

Open Flamingo. A default tab with an empty GET request is created automatically.

Build Your First Request

1. Select GET as the HTTP method (default).
2. Enter a URL in the address bar:

https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1

3. Click Send or press Ctrl + Enter.

Flamingo executes the request and displays the response in the right panel — status code, timing, size, and formatted body.

Next Steps

• Add query parameters or headers
• Try a POST request with a JSON body
• Save the request to a collection
• Switch environments to use variables
• Press Ctrl + K to open the command palette

Example: Sending a POST Request

// 1. Set method to POST
// 2. Enter URL: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts
// 3. Go to Body tab, select JSON, enter:
{
  "title": "My Post",
  "body": "This is the content",
  "userId": 1
}
// 4. Headers tab — Content-Type: application/json is auto-detected
// 5. Click Send

Flamingo sends the POST request and shows the response, including the created resource with its new ID.
