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 mostly use the rest client extension for vscode
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 :]
I usually generate an API client in C#, and just use that. For example, and entire integration CRUD test for a user would just be something like:
var user = TestClient.CreateUser(1234, "Bob");
user.Id.ShouldBe(1234);
user.Name.ShouldBe("Bob");
var userThroughGet = TestClient.GetUser(1234);
userThroughGet.ShouldNotBeNull();
TestClient.EditUser(1234, "John");
userThroughGet = TestClient.GetUser(1234);
userThroughGet.Name.ShouldBe("John");
TestClient.DeleteUser(1234);
userThroughGet = TestClient.GetUser(1234);
userThroughGet.ShouldBeNull();
Trying to set up those kinda scenarios quickly with Postman was getting pretty tedious
