Open Source, Path Params, and Query Import

Welcome to the first release after the open-sourcing of Yaak! In case you missed the news, check out the full-length Announcement Post.

Yaak also has a new Feedback Site, powered by FeatureBase, so submitting and managing feedback will be a much nicer experience!

Okay, let's jump into the goodies of this release.

🪄 URL Path Parameters

APIs that use a lot of GET requests can end up having a lot of really long URLs. For example:

https://api.example.com/users/usr_123/comments/cmt_123

This is a pain because it can be challenging to edit the segments of a URL. Now you can use the :placeholder syntax to populate a URL path segment. Yaak will automatically add these placeholders as entries in the Params tab.

Tip: Click the placeholders in the URL to navigate directly to the Param!

📋 Import querystring on paste

Yaak will now automatically import any querystring parameters into the Params tab after pasting into the URL bar. This is a huge time-saver for those who frequently copy-paste URLs into Yaak.
