I am a fan of Insomnia. As far as I can tell it has most of the features I used in postman without all the paid upgrade nags
Seconding Insomnia. Sleeker interface imo, only thing it’s lacking in feature parity afaik is the cookie sniffer, but you can grab what you need in postman or js console and then plug it into insomnia np.
Also, cURL :]
ducaale/xh is excellent for anybody that likes to use HTTP from a CLI.
Yep, these command line tools seems really cool!
When I was using GUI API Testing tools, I prefer using APIDog, their UI is much easier to use and I can easily migrate my Postman scripts.
Also a websocket test mode would be nice. It’s something I do miss from Postman
Insomnia is really good, never looked back at postman since i use Insomnia!
never heard about it. gonna give it a try for sure. thanks for the suggestion!
The one thing I find difficult in Insomnia is making the auth common across a group of requests. I end up duplicating existing requests which doesn't help if I need to update the process at all. Is there a way to use common auth routines yet?
