Monkeytail

Contact support

Send a request

Choose a saved request or add one, enter a complete HTTP or HTTPS URL, and tap Send. Use the request tabs to edit headers, parameters, body, authentication, and scripts. Response shows status, timing, headers, and body. Tap Pretty or Tree for JSON, or search the response text.

Import cURL

Open the workspace actions menu, choose Import, and paste a cURL command. Shell quoting and multiline commands are parsed as text; Monkeytail never executes a shell. File uploads, multipart bodies, and unsupported flags produce an error rather than silently changing the request.

Import and export collections

Use the workspace actions menu to import pasted JSON or a file from Files. Imports append collections and environments. Native Monkeytail workspace exports preserve all settings, including proxy settings. Review imported content before sending requests or enabling scripts.

• Postman: v2/v2.1 collection JSON and environment JSON import; v2.1 collection export with the active environment as collection variables.
• Insomnia: v4 JSON import and export. Convert YAML or newer formats to supported JSON in the source tool first.
• Monkeytail: complete workspace JSON import and export.

Third-party formats do not preserve every setting. Nested environment inheritance, dynamic template tags, full OAuth flows, multipart uploads, and the complete Postman or Insomnia scripting runtimes are not supported.

Environments and scripts

Use {{variable}} in request fields and choose a named environment. Scripts offer a small pm compatibility API for variables, requests, responses, assertions, and tests. Scripts are local, time limited, and cannot make separate network requests. Imported scripts start disabled.

Proxies and connections

Settings offers system networking or a custom HTTP CONNECT, HTTPS CONNECT, or SOCKS5 proxy. Supply the host, port, and optional credentials. A failed custom proxy does not fall back to a direct connection. Allow local-network access in iOS Settings to reach LAN APIs. TLS certificate verification remains enabled; a debugging CA must be installed and trusted in iOS when required.

Limits

Imports are limited to 10 MB; responses to 20 MB. Text and tree previews are limited to 1 MB, while the full received response can be saved. Recent history keeps up to 50 request definitions. JavaScript execution has a three-second deadline.
