One more reason, there is a "copy as cURL" option in the Firefox developer tools network tab. It gives you a perfect cURL command including all the necessary cookies and headers to send the exact HTTP request that your browser just sent.

More coming soon. Or not. I don't owe you shit.

This is great.

If you like having a postman like interface, I've been using Bruno, which is a local, de-enshittified clone of postman.

I've never thought about just using curl, but when I'll finally migrate for good out of windows to Linux, I will try doing just that, see how that feels.

Import our Postman library. ❌
Clone our curl repo. ✅

... -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"query": "{ users { name } }"}'? No. Why would you do that when you can just do ... --json '{"query": "{ users { name } }"}'. Yeah curl is awesome.

Didn't know cURL supports so many protocols

The only point I can say is that editing text on the terminal isn't as simple as a regular text field. And AFAIK the only way to write a query on a regular text editor would be to write it, save to file, run file...

The only thing I still use Postman for at work is when running API performance benchmarks, as I wasn't yet motivated enough to write a curl wrapper to do such tests and plot the results. Especially when doing things like ramp up etc. it becomes more than a simple for-loop.

Can someone recommend an existing command line tool for that?

curl is not great when testing configuration for various software solutions. there are a few better options than postman like httpie and another one but I forget its name.

Total feelings of superiority: immeasurable.

I love it that the page is designed to advertise multiple pieces of software but stopped at curl ^^

More coming soon. Or not. I don't owe you shit.

ffmpeg is definitely also a candidate for this.

meh, use whatever the fuck you want

there, I can swear too

Bruno seems significantly less evil . . . for now

I like Hoppscotch

Wish I knew how to copy / paste a multi line in windows.

Just use netcat

What about doing grpc / protobuf stuff
