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 httpie on the fish shell with autocompletion for quick requests, but it’s no replacement

I also have been using httpie for a few years - it is really great.

Recently I have started using nushell which has a similar module builtin: https://www.nushell.sh/commands/docs/http_get.html Combined with rest of the nicities in nushell its a pretty good cli experience.

How’s nushell been for you so far? I took a look at it once when it was relatively new and was missing some features I needed, like shell scripts.

httpie now also has a postman-like UI! Been using it for a while and I’m liking it for what it is - https://httpie.io/app
