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.

    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.

        Yeah, these options are pretty cool, but recently I prefer using APIDog, it covers all postman features with a cool UI.

        One of the things I keep using with APIDog is their Documentation feature, really saved me a lot of time struggling with Swagger.

        hope that helps!

      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?
