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

Hoppscotch.io works a treat
Sometimes swagger UI
I don’t really use any tool. For my stuff I use FastAPI which generates swagger UI, and when troubleshooting I interact that way.
@NeoNachtwaechter httpie is super nice
Curl
Same. Just curl. Good enough.
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.
Heard about hoppscotch, that can be used with proxyscotch
We’re been looking at hoppscotch mainly for the ability to collaborate and store everything on site.
Little Faraday scripts
Curl. Or if I need to chain stuff together for auth reasons or whatever, sometimes ill just pop into a python virtualenv and use
requestsThunderclient for vscodium
When you add swagger to your services, you don’t need rest clients
Paw (native MacOS app)
Insomnia or just plain old cURL
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/

Same here, absolutely love being able to write HTTP requests like code! With the auto completion I’m 10x faster writing requests than using Postman or Insomnia. You can define multiple requests in one file and execute them like a script. There’s also a templating feature which you can use for different environments.
