Code Generation
Nouto generates ready to use code from HTTP style requests. The generated snippet includes the request method, URL, headers, supported auth, query parameters, and body. A separate TypeScript target can infer interfaces from sample JSON in the request body.
How to Use
Section titled “How to Use”- Configure your request (URL, method, headers, body, auth).
- Click the Code button in the URL bar.
- Select a language from the tabs.
- Click Copy to copy the snippet, or Open in New Tab to edit it in VS Code.
The generated code updates automatically when you change the request. Your last selected language is remembered across sessions.

cURL Example
Section titled “cURL Example”curl -X POST https://api.example.com/data \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer my-token' \ -d '{"name":"John","age":30}'TypeScript Type Generation
Section titled “TypeScript Type Generation”The CLI exposes the same code generation targets through nouto codegen. See CLI: Code Generation for command usage.
