Getting started

Installation

Download Ironcall from the download page. Installers are available for Windows and Linux. No account or internet connection is required. macOS support is planned for a future release.

Linux: .deb, .rpm, or .tar.gz:

# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo dpkg -i ironcall_*.deb

# Fedora / RHEL
sudo rpm -i ironcall_*.rpm

# Other distributions
tar -xzf ironcall_*.tar.gz && ./ironcall

On Arch Linux, Ironcall is also available from the AUR:

yay -S ironcall-bin

Windows: .exe installer. Run it and follow the prompts. Windows SmartScreen may show a warning on first run; click More info, then Run anyway.

First request

Enter a URL in the address bar at the top of the window. Select the HTTP method from the dropdown, then press Enter or click Send. The response body, status code, timing, and headers appear in the panel below.

Importing collections

Ironcall imports Postman and Insomnia collections directly. Go to File > Import, select your collection file, and choose the source format. Requests, folders, headers, parameters, bodies, and authentication are imported. Environments can be imported from their own export files.

Postman and Insomnia scripts and tests are not imported. See Import & Export for the full list of what carries over.

Collections & folders

Group related requests into collections using the sidebar. Create folders within a collection to organize by feature, service, or team. Folders support unlimited nesting.

Drag and drop to reorder requests and folders. Right-click any item to rename, duplicate, or delete it.
