There are some extensions for VSCode that let you define your requests in a text file and has ways to run the file and show the data.

Here's one I just found: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.re...

Syntax looks like:

    GET https://example.com/comments/1 HTTP/1.1

    ###

    GET https://example.com/topics/1 HTTP/1.1

    ###

    POST https://example.com/comments HTTP/1.1
    content-type: application/json

    {
        "name": "sample",
        "time": "Wed, 21 Oct 2015 18:27:50 GMT"
    }
