It targets developers who want a keyboard-driven OpenAPI explorer without opening a browser-based documentation UI. ### Project history The GitHub repository was created on March 2, 2024. The project README presents it as a TUI for listing, browsing, and running APIs from local JSON/YAML files or remote OpenAPI URLs. ### Adoption history The project is distributed through Cargo, Docker, Homebrew, Arch Linux, Nix/NixOS, Alpine testing packages, and prebuilt GitHub release artifacts. That distribution pattern matches Rust CLI/TUI tools: source installation with `cargo install`, binary packages for users, and Docker for quick isolated execution. ### How it is used Users run `openapi-tui --input ` with a local or remote OpenAPI document. The CLI supports repeated global headers, multiple servers, filtering, nested component browsing, request history, response saving, jq filtering, and copying requests as curl or httpie commands. ### Why package nerds care openapi-tui is notable as a small, terminal-native alternative to Swagger UI-style browsing. It shows the OpenAPI tooling ecosystem expanding beyond generators and validators into lightweight interactive clients. ### Timeline - March 2, 2024: the GitHub repository was created.
