What alternative to ‘postman’ do you like the most for simply testing a bunch of REST services?
curl?
I’ll useREST Client in visual studio code when working on Azure functions etc
I use Thunder client in VSC.
Curl. Or if I need to chain stuff together for auth reasons or whatever, sometimes ill just pop into a python virtualenv and use
requests
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/
https://hurl.dev is pretty sweet.
Sometimes swagger UI
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.
Insomnia or just plain old cURL
Curl
Heard about hoppscotch or with proxyscotch
When you add swagger to your services, you don’t need rest clients
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.
And which ones handle injecting base 64 encoded file content (100MB) into the json body well? I’ve been using SoapSonar, but I’m having issues with this at the moment.
Depends on what tests I want to do. Sometimes I just make a python script.
