I've been using Paw 2 for a project in the last couple of months and it's totally amazing. Very excited to give the new version a try!

#12I've used Paw for a few years since I started getting inconsistent Postman results thanks to Chrome cookies, and I haven't looked back. It's really a fantastic tool that is part of my daily life as an API guy. The dev, Micha, is super helpful via email and has even incorporated feedback when the app didn't work the way I expected (like sending request body on GET). I would honestly buy it again if updates weren't free.

#13Great news! I use Paw all the time while exploring new APIs. It is a great piece of software.
EDIT: Wow! Just saw that the upgrade to v3 is free for v2 users! Nice surprise!
Re: Paw – Advanced API tool for Mac
#14Looks cool! Probably should specify Web API tool, though; there are plenty of APIs that have nothing to do with HTTP.

#15Paw is a really great product, I've been using it for a long time now. I _really_ wish they would combine this with traffic capture - similar to Fiddler on Windows. Charles does the trick, but it's a mess to set up for proxying HTTPS traffic.

#16How is this different from Postman? It seems very similar, but Postman is free and has other really awesome features (like being able to export tests and run them in the command line).
The main thing for me was that it's a proper native app. It works really well, takes advantage of the native OS APIs and is a better product because of it.
Hypernap is a proper native app and less than a tenth the cost of Paw...

Postman isn't free if you are using team syncing. They are both $X/user/month.

But it isn't as nice and it doesn't have any solution for cloud/team syncing, right?

#19Paw is excellent. I've used it for years. The one feature I hope for in v3 is the ability to import cookies from Safari/Chrome/etc.

Which to me in this case just means "I can only run this on my work Macbook, and not on my personal Linux or Windows machines, or on a Chromebook."
