What alternative to ‘postman’ do you like the most for simply testing a bunch of REST services?
You must log in or # to comment.
Insomnia.rest generally is my tool: https://github.com/Kong/insomnia
Thunder Client if you like to keep all the relevant requests n data inside the project directory, probably good for teams: https://open-vsx.org/extension/rangav/vscode-thunder-client
With VS-Codium (vscode with the microsoft telemetry scraped out): https://vscodium.com/
This looks very good. Thanks for sharing.
https://hurl.dev is pretty sweet.

Same here, absolutely love being able to write HTTP requests like code! With the auto completion I’m 10x faster writing requests than using Postman or Insomnia. You can define multiple requests in one file and execute them like a script. There’s also a templating feature which you can use for different environments.
Curl. Or if I need to chain stuff together for auth reasons or whatever, sometimes ill just pop into a python virtualenv and use
requestscurl?
Insomnia or just plain old cURL
SoapUI open source version works pretty well and does not require a logon to save your projects
Thunderclient for vscodium
Curl. Especially as Firefox’ network tab lets me copy every request in curl format. I only use postman for complex POST/PUT/PATCH requests. I’ve used httpie in the past.
Sometimes swagger UI
I’ll use REST Client in visual studio code when working on Azure functions etc
I use Thunder client in VSC.
I’ve recently been looking at Hopscotch: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch
But the free version of Postman seems to offer everything we’d want.
Curl
Why switch? Postman is still my go-to
Same.
Maybe my usecases are extremely basic. And all their Pro features are just bells and whistles that doesn’t affect me but I hope someone does find value out of it.
