API Orbit 26.2 brings cURL import, search in JSON tree, native PDF viewer, per-redirect metrics, a redesigned AI assistant, and a new keyboard toolbar for iOS.
API Orbit 26.1 is here, and it brings some of the most requested improvements of the year. This update focuses on making your workflow faster, more organized, and easier to document — whether you’re building APIs, testing integrations, or working with large collections. Below we’ll walk through everything that’s new.
If you’ve built your API workflow around Postman, you already know what good design and usability feel like. But if you live in the Apple ecosystem, there’s a new way to work — one that feels faster, smoother, and fully native. API Orbit is a modern API client designed exclusively for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It lets you migrate from Postman in minutes, bringing your collections, environments, and requests into a unified, Apple-native experience.
We’re excited to share another update that makes working with your APIs even more enjoyable and efficient. Version 26.0.4 focuses on reliability, clarity, and flexibility — helping you organize your requests faster than ever.
API Orbit now has its own native file format for collections — the .apiorbit format. It’s a lightweight, structured, and future-proof way to save, share, and restore your API collections across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This new format is designed specifically for API Orbit, ensuring that every detail of your collection is preserved exactly as you configured it — from headers and parameters to cache policies, SSL settings, and even GraphQL queries.
API responses can easily grow into thousands of lines of JSON. Searching manually wastes time and often leads to missed details. This is where JSONPath comes in — a query language that lets you instantly filter, search, and extract exactly the data you need. In this article, we’ll cover JSONPath basics, advanced use cases, and how to use it directly inside API Orbit — a native API client for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro.
API Orbit 26 marks a major milestone. Rebuilt from the ground up with AI tools, blazing-fast performance, and a fresh design, it’s more than just an update — it’s a complete evolution of how developers work with APIs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
