The API client in Requestly allows you to easily send API requests, without the need for writing code or using a terminal. It lets you test APIs, retrieve data, and explore how they work by simply creating a request, clicking Send, and viewing the response within Requestly.

## Path Variables

Path variables allow you to define dynamic segments in your API URL using the `:variableName` syntax. This is useful for RESTful APIs where resource identifiers are part of the URL path.

Consider adding a language identifier (e.g., text) to fenced code blocks to ensure consistent rendering/highlighting in MDX across environments.

Copilot uses AI. Check for mistakes.
For example, if your API endpoint is:
```
https://api.example.com/users/:userId/posts/:postId
```

Requestly automatically detects the path variables (`:userId` and `:postId`) from the URL and displays them in the **Params** tab under **Path Variables**. You can then set values for each variable:

| Key | Value | Description |
|-----|-------|-------------|
| userId | 123 | The user's unique identifier |
| postId | 456 | The post's unique identifier |

The table syntax uses double leading pipes (|| ...), which is not standard Markdown and may not render as a table in MDX/Mintlify. Update it to standard table formatting (single leading/trailing | per row) so it reliably renders in the docs.

When you send the request, Requestly compiles the URL with your provided values:
```
https://api.example.com/users/123/posts/456
```

<Tip>
Path variables are automatically extracted from your URL. Simply type a URL with `:variableName` segments, and they'll appear in the Path Variables table for you to fill in.

## Query Parameters

In the **Query Params** section, you can add query parameters as **key-value pairs** to send extra information with the URL. To add more parameters, click on the `+ Add More` button.
