For API specification we have OpenAPI specification[1] (formerly known as Swagger specification).
I have a Paw license and recently I started using Insomnia instead: https://insomnia.rest/ I find Paw's project management very annoying. It assumes that I am working on some project and wants me to organise everything like that. Fine, lets do it, so where are my projects? They are hidden in some dropdown that you can have fun finding. Insomnia is much cleaner and more to the point.
Also, Projects are just Paw files. Inside the files you can group and subgroup requests, too. Unless you meant something else?
Paw's killer feature for me is request chaining GET /things -> GET /things/{things.first.id} -> PUT /things/{things.first.id} -> DELETE /things/{things.first.id}

Haven't used paw, but agreed with above about Insomnia, and: - GraphQL support is pretty decent - Copy as CURL is awesome
Don't forget the ability to paste a curl command into the url to import it!

Agree whole heartedly, bought a Paw license and never use it. I use insomnia instead. It's cross platform like postman so I can use it on my linux box and recommend it to all of our team members and it's not a pain in the ass. Surprisingly I thought I'd place a lot of value on the native mac look and feel for this app but it really doesn't make a large difference.

There are so many differences it's impossible to list them. In general, Postman focuses on having every feature under the sun (integration testing, mock APIs, etc) whereas Insomnia focuses on the core of just being an HTTP client with additional helpers to be more productive. The result being that Insomnia is not suitable for as many use cases but is has a better user experience because it's more focused. Insomnia is…
Totes. Another issue I've found (at least with the browser extension flavor), is that even though it is a separate window, Cmd+Tab switching between apps is totally broken by Postman. The Postman window will completely take over your Chrome instance. Also, I'm glad I found you! Long-time user of Paw, but going to make the switch to Insomnia. Question, can I just type a JS object into request body and you stringify th…
But I guess that it is as useful and complete, as it is ugly. If you don't care for the eye candy, this is the tool to use.

I was on the verge of buying a licence for Paw a couple of months ago, but discovered Insomnia, and been using that instead. (Formerly used Postman before that). To me, the functionality of Paw and Insomnia seem very similar, so the $50 licence price deterred me from purchasing Paw. If Paw was closer to the $20 mark, I might have still bought it to have in my arsenal of tools 'just in case'. My rationale is that if t…
No need for a license for https://rest.secapps.com and we have all features of Paw.

Insomnia doesn't even come close to Paw due to the amount of features Paw has that Insomnia doesn't. Also, Projects are just Paw files. Inside the files you can group and subgroup requests, too. Unless you meant something else?
