###### Author: Hayden Hargreaves
|
||||
|
||||
###### Published: 05/11/2026
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
Backend API debugging is still largely guesswork in 2026. Web engineers get rich browser DevTools; server engineers get partial logs and speculation.
|
||||
Backend engineers lack a simple, reliable way to see outbound API traffic from their local apps or CLI tools. Browser tools do not cover this workflow,
|
||||
and debugging using logs is incomplete and slow. As a result, developers spend too much time guessing what requests are sent, what went wrong,
|
||||
what responses they got and where integration breaks. Backend, terminal-first engineers are even worse off. Heavy, industrial tools exist, but they
|
||||
do not suit the needs of a developer who does not want to leave their terminal. They need a local, low-friction tool that exposes HTTP/S
|
||||
behavior without requiring code changes, dashboard hopping or industrial overhead.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What is Termtap
|
||||
|
||||
Termtap is a terminal-based proxy inspector for backend engineers. You run your code using the `tap` CLI and Termtap shows outbound HTTP/S traffic
|
||||
in real time. You can see requests, responses, status codes and failures - all without changing your code.
|
||||
|
||||
Termtap was built for local iteration, not enterprise observability. Instead of dashboards, agents and long setups, Termtap is small and direct:
|
||||
a single command, immediate visibility with a keyboard-driven workflow. If you live in the terminal and need to understand what your app is sending
|
||||
over the network, Termtap is the quickest way from "something is wrong" to "here's exactly why."
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### How it Works
|
||||
|
||||
Termtap wraps the command you run, starts a local proxy and streams HTTP/S traffic into a TUI.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Wrap your command
|
||||
Run your app normally, just prefixed with the `tap` CLI.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tap run -- go run .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Termtap launches your process with proxy environment variables set, so outbound requests flow through Termtap automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Capture traffic in real time
|
||||
|
||||
While your app runs, Termtap captures request/response metadata and timing information as they occur. You can immediately see what endpoints
|
||||
are hit, what methods were used, response status and where failures occur.
|
||||
#### Inspect HTTPS locally
|
||||
|
||||
For HTTPS inspection, run the `cert` command.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tap cert
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Termtap creates (or reuses) a local CA, shows where it lives, and prints trust instructions for your OS. Once trusted, HTTPS traffic
|
||||
can be inspected locally on your machine. More details regarding certs and why we need them can be found in the [docs](https://termtap.dev/docs#https-certs).
|
||||
#### Investigate the terminal
|
||||
|
||||
Use keyboard-first navigation to move through requests, inspect details, and filter with search. No browser tabs, no dashboards, and
|
||||
no instrumentation changes in your app code.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why Now
|
||||
|
||||
With microservices on the rise, applications have added layers of communication between systems that *might* not need them. Debugging
|
||||
large webs of microservices is cumbersome without a strong observability tool. Termtap provides a simple way to see what each service
|
||||
is "seeing" and "saying," allowing a developer to find the cause of issues faster.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project State
|
||||
|
||||
Termtap is currently in beta; usable today, however, it is intentionally narrow and improving quickly through real developer feedback.
|
||||
|
||||
Right now, Termtap is strongest for local debugging of outbound HTTP/S traffic from terminal-run apps. The core workflow is stable:
|
||||
wrap a command, observe live traffic, inspect failures, and iterate without changing application code.
|
||||
|
||||
This is not a polished, enterprise-grade observability platform. Expect rough edges, missing features, and occasional breaking changes as
|
||||
the tool evolves. That tradeoff is deliberate: optimize for speed, focus, and a tight terminal-first workflow over broad surface area.
|
||||
|
||||
If you’re a backend developer who lives in the terminal and wants to shape the direction of the tool, you’re the ideal early user. Feedback,
|
||||
edge cases, and bug reports are especially valuable right now.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Who it's For
|
||||
|
||||
Termtap is built for backend developers who debug API integrations from the terminal and want immediate visibility into outbound HTTP/S traffic.
|
||||
|
||||
It is **for you** if:
|
||||
- You run services, scripts, or CLI tools locally and need to see real requests in real time
|
||||
- You prefer terminal-native workflows over browser tabs and dashboards
|
||||
- You want low setup and no app instrumentation just to debug network behavior
|
||||
- You care more about fast feedback loops than enterprise observability features
|
||||
|
||||
It is **not for you** if:
|
||||
- You need a full production observability platform with team-wide dashboards and alerting
|
||||
- You want long-term analytics, tracing infrastructure, or hosted telemetry pipelines
|
||||
- You are looking for a GUI-first workflow as your primary interface
|
||||
- You expect a fully polished, zero-edge-case product today
|
||||
|
||||
Termtap is intentionally opinionated: local-first, terminal-first, and focused on the shortest path from “something failed” to “I can see exactly why.”
|
||||
|
||||
### What's Coming
|
||||
|
||||
The goal of Termtap is to remain lightweight and **simple**, so the feature list is small. However, there is room for additions and improvement.
|
||||
Reliability is the focus, but meeting user needs comes first. Some possible features include **request replay**, **payload modification**,
|
||||
**standalone proxy functionality** or **multi-process support**.
|
||||
|
||||
### How You Can Use It
|
||||
|
||||
I’m looking for 15–20 terminal-first backend engineers to try Termtap on real integration bugs.
|
||||
|
||||
If that’s you:
|
||||
- install from GitHub Releases
|
||||
- run it on one failing API flow
|
||||
- tell me what was confusing, missing, or slow
