Insomnia is a bit more like classic postman, though it's kinda heading the same way too.

Ended up falling back to cURL and shell history for REST stuffs a lot of the time.

check out this topic here: https://programming.dev/post/435823 where I asked question about postman alternatives not so long ago. Tons of suggestions!

Enshittification.

I just switched to https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.rest-client a few years ago. Way better, simpler, easily version controlled and reviewed, completely FOSS. Only downside is it's just for VSCode, if that's not your thing

We made the decision yesterday to dump Postman in favor of Thunder Client. As soon as I saw the push to create an account and use cloud workspaces, I knew the time would come.

(edit: correct styling of Thunder Client)

Seems investors are to blame...

+1 for this question. Postman was a thing of simple beauty before they tried chasing the VC money

I'm very very surprised nobody has recommended hoppscotch.io yet

https://insomnia.rest/ I've been using insomnia and it's been pretty great for the most part.

Stopped using it when they started sending me emails every fucking day.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I WANT TO TEST AN API THANKS

This kind of thing led me to disabling feature updates on my older Postman installs, and switching to Insomnia as a replacement on systems that don't have Postman

https://insomnia.rest (GitHub)

If you use vscode, you might look at the thunderclient extension.

Insomnia has that classic postman feel, but personally I switched to hurl ( https://hurl.dev/ ) I really like how simple it is once it's setup.

You probably want this now https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.rest-client

time to switch to insomnia my friend!

I've always used and will continue to always use curl.

Yep started using https://hoppscotch.io it's basically a clone

Ive been using something called Insomnia lately. It's a bit less fully-featured when it comes to things like env vars, but I love that I can copy any call from my browser's network tab as a curl command and just paste it right into insomnia

I tried postman and came to the same conclusion as you. I couldn't figure it out at all. I downloaded an app for android called "ApI Tester". I might try out ThunderClient, which others have suggested, if it works on Linux.

I’ve been using RapidAPI on my Mac. It looks quite nice, but I’ve found some parts to be a little buggy.
