Terms of Service

Last updated: November 15, 2025

Agreement to Terms

Welcome to reqx! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our API testing tool and services. By accessing or using reqx, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our service. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time, and your continued use constitutes acceptance of any changes.

Service Description

reqx is a free, open-source, browser-based API testing tool that allows you to:

  • Send HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD, OPTIONS)
  • Configure custom headers and request bodies
  • View and analyze API responses
  • Store request history locally in your browser
  • Test and debug REST APIs

Important: reqx is a client-side application. All functionality runs in your browser, and we do not store, process, or have access to your API requests or data.

Acceptable Use

You agree to use reqx only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You may:

  • Test and debug your own APIs or publicly available APIs
  • Use the tool for educational and learning purposes
  • Integrate it into your development workflow
  • Share and recommend the tool to others
  • Contribute to the open-source project
  • Use it for commercial projects and professional work

Prohibited Use

You agree NOT to use reqx to:

  • Violate any applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights
  • Send unauthorized requests to APIs or services
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems or networks
  • Conduct security testing without proper authorization
  • Perform denial-of-service attacks or flood APIs with requests
  • Scrape, harvest, or collect data without permission
  • Transmit malware, viruses, or malicious code
  • Impersonate others or misrepresent your identity
  • Interfere with or disrupt the service or servers
  • Bypass rate limits or security measures of third-party APIs

Important Notice

You are solely responsible for ensuring you have proper authorization to interact with any APIs you test. Always respect API terms of service, rate limits, and authentication requirements.

Your Responsibilities

API Credentials

You are responsible for keeping your API keys, tokens, and credentials secure. reqx stores data locally in your browser, but you should:

  • Never share your API credentials publicly
  • Use environment-specific credentials for testing
  • Rotate credentials if they may have been compromised
  • Clear your browser history if using a shared computer

Third-Party APIs

When using reqx to interact with third-party APIs, you must:

  • Comply with the terms of service of those APIs
  • Respect rate limits and usage quotas
  • Obtain necessary permissions and authorizations
  • Handle sensitive data according to applicable regulations

Data Management

Since data is stored locally in your browser:

  • You are responsible for backing up important requests
  • Clear sensitive data from history when appropriate
  • Understand that clearing browser data will delete your history
