Open, run, or copy an entry#

You can reopen, run again, or copy a request in your History without leaving the side panel. Click a row to load it, or use its menu for the other two actions. Each row has a three-dot menu on the right with Run again, Copy URL, and Save to collection.

Open a row in a tab#

Click anywhere on a history row to load that request into a new tab. The tab takes its name from the method and the host part of the URL, for example GET api.example.com. It opens on the panel that matters most for the request: the Body panel if the request had a body or form fields, the Headers panel if it had headers but no body, otherwise the Params panel.

The new tab is a working copy. It is not tied to the history entry, so an edit or a send leaves the entry unchanged.

Run again#

Run again opens the request in a new tab, the same way a click does, then sends it at once. Use it to repeat a request without a change. API Client adds the fresh run to the top of History as its own entry.

Copy URL#

Copy URL puts the full address on your clipboard, including the query string. It opens nothing and sends nothing. This is the quick way to grab a URL to paste elsewhere.

Save to collection#

The third menu action, Save to collection, keeps the request for good. See Saving a recent request to a collection.
