What alternative to ‘postman’ do you like the most for simply testing a bunch of REST services?

Insomnia user checking in…
i use insomnia as well
Until I saw the sub I thought this was going to be a question about what to call the postal officer now that we live in a modern society where women are trusted to stuff letterboxes as well as men. Postie is of course the answer to that.
I go with mail carrier. Then again, the man in postman is supposedly from the old English “mann” which just meant person.
Curl
Hoppscotch.io works a treat
Curl. Or if I need to chain stuff together for auth reasons or whatever, sometimes ill just pop into a python virtualenv and use
requestsRemoved by mod
I used to use Paw, but it’s only available on OS X. It’s a shame because it has the single best variable/templating system I’ve ever used. Since I prefer a cross platform and ideally open source solution though I’ve switched to Insomnia. It’s not quite as good as Paw, but I can actually use it on Windows and Linux unlike Paw.
My day job is in OSX so, Paw user checking in. Very nice UI…
Sometimes swagger UI
SoapUI open source version works pretty well and does not require a logon to save your projects
Depends on what tests I want to do. Sometimes I just make a python script.
I don’t really use any tool. For my stuff I use FastAPI which generates swagger UI, and when troubleshooting I interact that way.
When you add swagger to your services, you don’t need rest clients
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.
