Versions:
Straumr 2026.4.7.14, released by Albin Alm, is a lightweight command-line utility that streamlines the life-cycle of HTTP requests for developers who routinely test or script against REST, GraphQL, or other web endpoints. Instead of rebuilding cURL commands or juggling Postman collections, users define each request once—complete with method, headers, body, variables, and authentication tokens—then commit it to a named workspace. Workspaces act as isolated silos, so the same laptop can safely hold production, staging, and personal configurations without risk of cross-contamination; secrets referenced in one workspace are invisible to the others. When a request is needed, Straumr replays the stored definition, resolves any placeholders from environment files, injects credentials, and sends the call, returning the response directly in the terminal or piping it to downstream scripts. Typical use cases include smoke-testing new API routes during CI pipelines, quickly switching between customer tenants while debugging, sharing consistent request definitions across a team via Git, or keeping a private catalog of webhook callbacks for personal automation. Because everything lives in plain YAML under `.straumr`, collections can be diffed, reviewed, and version-controlled like source code. The program ships as a single native binary for Windows, macOS, and Linux, requires no local database, and updates itself in place. Straumr is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest build and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
