Custom IO

The Custom IO tab allows you to input verb requests manually. Instead of clicking a button to query a resource, you can specify a resource by its verb form and request a custom payload. This tab is useful if you are familiar with the commands and do not want to switch through various tabs in the client's user interface, or if you want to query a resource not included as a button in the client.
