If you live in Emacs, there is the amazing verb package that does the same, it supports org-mode primarily and also integrates with org-babel nicely. https://github.com/federicotdn/verb
> Last time I posted this it didn't garner much interest. Looks good. I use Postman daily and it sucks, so always open to alternatives. I don't recall what it looked like the last time you posted, but I wonder if part of the low interest is because upon arrival it doesn't instantly jump out to the visitor that this is something you can host/run locally. It's very easy to miss the Github links top right. And if you do…

I currently use Postman but havent had problems yet, though next week I'm joining an API crew. Your opinion seems strong; could you tell me where you ran into pitfalls with it I should look out for?
The app has been buggy since its first major overhaul, and it now also has incredible feature bloat. It's hard to find what you want, and the UI is constantly pushing you to make use of features you don't want to use. It no longer works well as a scratchpad because they want you to organize everything into a full API IDE, which is not something I want or need.
I have been trying out https://hurl.dev and so far been really liking it. Plain text format, everything runs very quickly locally, it can capture data from previous requests to run workflows and serve as a testing tool.
hurl looks pretty simple to use, and way easier to get started with than what we're using at work currently.

Postman is a classic victim of venture funding. It was a great, simple, useful product, and then they had to become a rapid-growth business.

There are also inconsistencies between Postman running in the browser and the desktop app.
I documented a 3rd party API in Postman desktop and the called me all sorts of names because it didn't work. Postman support told them to download the desktop client and then it worked.

And the Cookie header isn't sent? (using it on Firefox 106.1).
I'm using the fetch API for making requests and fetch sadly forbids the Cookie header from getting passed. Will be looking into how I can bypass this.
Scratch that. I wasn't thinking clearly. I ran the call from restfox.dev, and it's another domain, of course. You'd need to write your own http client to get around it.
