Executing a request

There are two ways to execute a request. You can either display the response in the terminal using the peek command, or save the response to a file using the run command.

Peek#

To display a response in the terminal, use the peek command.

sendex peek get posts/1

This will produce the following output:

Take care

This command outputs the entire response in the terminal. This maybe okay for many cases, however large return bodies can clutter your terminal. If you do have a large return body then you may want to save the output to a file to view instead. That's where the run command comes in.

To save the response output to a file, use the run command.

Take care

Run#
