Postman alternatives?

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.

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
