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

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.
curl?
I’ll use REST Client in visual studio code when working on Azure functions etc
I use Thunder client in VSC.
Curl
Same. Just curl. Good enough.
This looks very good. Thanks for sharing.
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/
Curl. Or if I need to chain stuff together for auth reasons or whatever, sometimes ill just pop into a python virtualenv and use
requestsWhy switch? Postman is still my go-to
I want it free and open source and easy.
They are getting more and more agressive with their paid services and so my guts have informed me that the end is near ;-)
I have seen the same happening with Soapui before: suddenly nobody was using it anymore.
Oh god, I have to use SoapUI at work occasionally, and I hate it so much.
I rolled back to the previous version and deleted update.exe
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.
Sometimes swagger UI
https://hurl.dev is pretty sweet.

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.
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…
Hoppscotch.io works a treat
Thunderclient for vscodium
