Local, open source, versioned and can serve as interactive documentation for users. Never tried it personally but it can even generate code from the specs.
Am I crazy for using curl and editing the shell cmdline with vim when I need to work with lots of headers?
No, but unless portability is a concern or you're massively familiar with curl, you might want to consider xh. It's much more intuitive. https://github.com/ducaale/xh
There is no GUI, so Hurl is not a drop-in Postman replacement, but it has nice features: it can be easily integrated in CI/CD, it's fast and it's powered by curl!
A detail: Hurl is given to the community by Orange, a French telco. Orange is not in the dev business, so it should remain free, open source, analytics free for a long time. In any case, you can easily convert Hurl files to JSON [2] in order to switch to another tool or not being trapped in a single provider...

As one of the creators, I can recommmend https://kreya.app . It is not open source (like Postman), but has a strong focus on privacy and also stores the data locally. As it has more powerful features (IMO) than most alternatives listed here, I am a little disappointed that it isn't mentioned more often.
Absolutely scummy behaviour
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Postman did it first, unless I'm missing something.
yep, Insomnia was the alternative to Postman, now the cycle continues...
Sad Insomnia made it a race

Bruno will put an end to this. Honestly, I don't care if I end up making little money from Bruno. This shit has to stop. An API Client need not be VC funded.
It's been a decade now. 10yrs.
Anytime I want to automate or do something slightly more complex than run a request it becomes a homework assignment.
I’d much rather just use Python and work up a small library. Everyone has their own preferences in the end and it’s much less painful doing it my own way.
