I like is Apache JMeter, more for load testing but it can be used to get all the same information as all the other tools people are mentioning. https://jmeter.apache.org/

Its in issue in the sibling comment. The suggested work-around is to not sign in at all.
For further context: I'm not sure if this has changed but at that time signing in seemed* to be required (there's some discussions in the ticket about confusion in the UI about this so in retrospect UX dark patterns were likely at play). However, while it may have been possible to make ad hoc requests without an account, it didn't seem to be possible to save request collections locally without sign in.

This sounds unbelievable but it seems to be true? https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/10...

There have been many tickets opened (and closed) on this problem. Searching their issues for the keyword "offline" should bring up some of them. This one is just the latest.
Re: Postman Now Supports gRPC
#134I just started using postman, because I'm working with a team that runs some tests with it. I've been unpleasantly surprised with the interface, it feels very slow and bloated on my fast dev machine.

#135Shameless plug, as I'm one of the creators:
Kreya is (in our opinion) the most powerful gRPC GUI client out there, but the UI is not as overloaded as the Postman one. REST support and scripting/test integration coming soon as well!

Doesn’t curl do this just as easily?
Sounds a lot easier than curl tbh. No need to deal with shell scripts and their insane quoting, plus you get the response straight in your editor with syntax highlighting.
Maybe it’s just me but I’ve never had those issues. Another benefit of curl is that you have an easily searchable history of every command you’ve run. So you can easily find old invocations and rerun them.

> I basically used it as a curl gui. I just use Browser's Network tab for that nowadays. CORS can be a trouble at times, but that can be avoided with a few tweaks.
I think the killer feature for these separate tools is usually that you can easily do a right click -> "copy as curl" in the network inspector, then import it in Postman/Paw and then tweak parameters / add headers there. This is not really possible in the browser network tools.
On the on Microsoft Edge chromium you can can enable an "edit and resend" feature save the requests to "Collections" and create request environments.

It seems pretty easy with Firefox - there's "Edit and resend" in the context menu of every request.
And then you accidentally refresh or close the tab and everything is gone. I usually use specific requests over many days if I'm reverse engineering something so having these available, sorted in folders for me is important. Of course for other uses cases it might be fine to have them live in the browser.
Se above. On MS Edge chromium you can enable to save the requests and even saved environments

#139I have a meta question to ask, in threads like these where big products announce new features or big funding I always see commentors lamenting bloated software or it having too many features, not doing the one simple thing you want it to do, etc. To me it seems the only trajectory of developers building products is to add new features, its how we justify keeping ourselves around most of the time. So what my question…
This is an excellent question. What I’ve noticed is that developers are incredibly annoyed when their tools don’t work well. Developers use their tools a lot, and when a tool starts “misbehaving” (resource hungry, sporadic failure, non ergonomic design etc) they are exposed to that failure constantly. This constant exposure can create intense feelings (either love or hatred) and nowhere to express them, so it will sp…
man, terraform errors are VERY vague. at least when I was using it.

#140I can't wait for native support for SOAP. It would be great to have a competitor to SOAPUI.
