Postman alternatives? (programming.dev)

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.

Came here to write this, so you get my upvote instead.

I don't actually use Hurl, I use Jest (since I'm usually writing in TS) so that I can prep state before and confirm it afterwards and fully ensure that the request did what it was supposed to do, but if you're already just using Postman, you're likely not testing your state, and Hurl is a SIGNIFICANT improvement.

Edit text files in any editor. Run it from the command line. Include it in your CICD with ease. It's an incredible tool and it deseres to be far, far more popular than it is.
