Postman alternatives? (self.programming)

I would like to hear if any of you are using different app for API testing than Postman.

I’m not telling that Postman is bad, but maybe there’s all that I should check out. Recently I tried RapidApi and even tho the app is kinda cool I missed few options and went back to Postman for now.

just create a new file of type HTTP Request, click on the *Examples dropdown in the top right, choose the type of thing you want to do, copy one of the examples, and then paste it into the .http file you created. Then hit the play button! dead simple!

anywhere on the project? hmm, that sounds pretty neat.

sorry for bugging you, but do you know if there is some way to import postman collections into this kind of a file? cause I have like 100 files in postman atm

edit: nvm, just tried it out and I can get from postman a HTTP "code" and simply paste it into .request fiel.

no worries. I'm just slow to respond. Got lots going on. Seems like you figured it out though? Do you want some more guidance?
