First request

1. Open Scrapeman. A new empty tab is ready with the cursor in the URL bar.
2. Paste a URL: https://httpbin.org/get
3. Method defaults to GET. Press Cmd+Enter (Mac) or Ctrl+Enter (Win/Linux) to send.
4. The response appears in the right panel: status, headers, body (auto-detected as JSON and rendered in the Pretty view).

Save to collection

1. Press Cmd+S. If the request has never been saved, a dialog asks for a name and folder. The name accepts api/users/list-style paths and missing folders are auto-created.
2. The file is written to your workspace folder as a .sman file. Legacy .req.yaml files from earlier versions still read fine and migrate to .sman on the next save.
3. The request appears in the sidebar collection tree.

Next steps

• Request building — methods, headers, params, body editor with {{var}} autocomplete and lenient JSON beautify.
• Keyboard shortcuts — every binding Scrapeman ships with.
• Environment variables — {{var}} autocomplete, scope precedence, built-in dynamics.
• Auth schemes — Basic, Bearer, API Key, OAuth 2.0 (client credentials, code, PKCE, OIDC), AWS SigV4.
• Load runner — concurrency, watched response headers, response validator, save failed bodies.
• Proxy and Scrape.do — native mode, rotating proxy lists, UA presets, anti-bot detection, rate limiting.
