Send It
Fire the request and inspect the response in the same tab.
curl https://api.alleforge.com/v1/users - 04
Save to a Collection

Organizing requests with Collections
Group related requests into shareable folders instead of digging through History.
Workspace roles explained
Owner, Admin, Developer, Viewer — what each role can actually do.
Why browser API clients can't reach localhost
The real reason browser-based tools fail on localhost, and how Agent fixes it.
Testing APIs in Docker containers
Container networking, exposed ports, and where Agent fits once a port is published.
Testing APIs inside Kubernetes
Port-forwarding a cluster-internal service so it's reachable to test at all.
Testing REST APIs: a practical workflow
Methods, headers, status codes, and saving a request so you don't rebuild it.
Testing GraphQL APIs
Queries, mutations, variables, and reading a response that can contain both data and errors.
Testing OAuth-protected APIs
Access tokens, scopes, and expiry — what actually causes an OAuth test request to fail.
Sharing requests with your team
A concrete workflow for a team working on the same requests, without Slack or exports.
AlleForge vs Postman
Where the browser-native workflow fits, and where Postman is genuinely stronger.
AlleForge vs Insomnia
Browser-native vs. desktop-native, and Insomnia's distinctive storage model.
Testing local AI APIs (Ollama and others)
Why a local model server works from curl but not a browser tool, and how to fix it correctly.
Testing Ollama APIs from a browser
Ollama's default allowed origins, the OLLAMA_ORIGINS fix per platform, and where Agent fits.
Testing LM Studio APIs from a browser
LM Studio's CORS toggle vs. its network-binding setting, and where Agent fits when neither is an option.
AI API authentication differences
OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini don't authenticate requests the same way — the real differences.
What AlleForge does and doesn't do for AI APIs
A direct accounting of AI API support today — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, local models, SSE, and what's not there yet.
