QD is an HTTP request scheduling and automation framework built on HAR Editor and Tornado Server.
The tool solves the problem of executing repetitive HTTP-based tasks on a schedule without manual intervention. It works by allowing users to define HTTP requests using a HAR (HTTP Archive) editor interface, then automatically executes those requests at specified times through a Tornado-based server. This approach lets developers automate check-in tasks, API calls, and other HTTP workflows that need to run periodically.
QD suits projects where you need to automate routine HTTP interactions—common use cases include automated check-ins, scheduled API requests, and similar time-based tasks. The tool provides a web interface for defining and managing these automated requests, making it accessible without requiring code changes for each new task. The project maintains primary support for Chrome browsers, though contributions documenting compatibility with other browsers are welcome.
Development on the project is maintained with limited resources dedicated to active enhancement. The maintainers prioritize stability and focus their efforts on ensuring the tool works reliably rather than pursuing rapid feature expansion.
