Postman is not just about interacting with APIs on the fly. It also allows you to have tests run against it, have documentation, share or collaborate, create mock servers etc. postman is here to stay my friend. Tbh i could fancy myself using the rest client vscode extension rather instead and check in to vcs if goal is to try out apis within same editor.

Yes, but when you are coding you only care about the API, and having the most common operations with an integrated tool on your code editor is convenient, then for the rest of the functionality, there is postman or any other tool.

Right clicking a network request and selecting this option allows you to fully edit this request, and then send it off again (even though it could literally be entirely different after editing). The huge convenience benefit of this is that I'm already in the application developing, so the request will already have the proper authentication, no need to add that in.

Most importantly, not needing a GUI to write and run the tests all the time. Postman has Newman CLI that allows you to run collections on a remote server and that's the most important feature. The JetBrain's .rest files can also be run using an open source CLI.

I like Insomnia since it'd do stuff like auto-refresh credentials when making a request. The whole thing with Postman needing a bunch of clicks to go to the auth panel and request a new token is pretty lame. They'd direct you to use a script to get the token, but that only works if you aren't using an OAuth web flow that needs to pop open a browser window. In Insomnia, if it has a refresh token it'll just auto-get a new token and it it doesn't, it'll just pop open the browser panel for you so you can log in right away. Plus (my main reason for trying it in the first place) the graphql support is better. I found it kind of shocking that Postman has such basic graphql support that it doesn't even show the graphql metadata and do auto-completion and stuff like even most basic graphql clients have.

Pre and post snippets from Postman are huge when testing rest api. It helps to chain api calls and or adding api call routing logic too! Many rest api exercises are not just a single call but sequence of calls to get your data. Postman’s calls chaining with pre and post make this easy to do. Especially you can convert the test logic into codes to run from newman. It speeds up development cycles a lot😃

I must be spoiled with IntelliJ. This feature seems very common sense to use in any IDE. If you don't have that, then Chrome Devtools also supports saving, modifying and replaying requests in network tab (multiple flavors cURL, Bash, js fetch, PowerShell). Postman imo has become very bloated and I only recommend it to people that are super GUI-driven, new to API testing or need some really advanced options from there. Also Thunder Client seems a bit primitive still, it does not seem to allow chaining requests or adding middleware. But I haven't used it myself, just judging from the UI in the video. P.S for those curious about IntelliJ land. We also have a handy gutter icon automatically next to our defined endpoints in source code. When we press it, it automatically generates a http request in the IDE's client ready to go. Supports multiple environments, chaining, debugging etc. Also ability to commit the requests to codebase and make it easier for the tester or developer. There's also a way to automatically link it to a JIRA ticket test case but that's bells and whistles.

@@patrickroza3073 It depends on what I’m doing. If it’s a quick test like in this video, the context switch to another app can disrupt the flow. However, if I need to simulate frequent api calls while running my app in vscode, the separate window is a more efficient workflow.

As a jetbrains user I've never had to use postman. My IDEs have "always" had this built in.

What built in features are you exactly talking about, are they available in intelliJ idea? Or just webstorm?

Love it! I use it to create suites of tests within my collections. Having it in my IDE helps to speed up my workflow. I also like Insomnia, you can create HTML documentation for your API with a really nice GUI.

For a few years now, I've been using my own REST client tool. Not as easy to use as Thunder client or postman, but it runs along with nodemon. So every time nodemon restarts, it will run the client, and show the new result at the terminal right after I save the code without pressing anything. All APi key, pass, auth, and all other things are set via config file. The only thing missing from vscode, is the ability to SSH into my cluster VMs.

Works great - the only thing you have to do is manually save out your collections and then import. Not sure if there's a way to link your postman to VSC to eliminate that step(s). Haven't looked just yet.

For my testing, I’m using Smart JSON Editor (commercial). It also allows to capture the requested endpoint for local testing

Thank you for introducing this extension ! Been using postman for a long time, just realized how much time it takes in day for me to switch from VS to postman.... Wonder what other useful tools that I may need but don't know yet.

It‘a cool but I use the testing feature in Postman a lot. It’s so helpful to write integration tests in Postman independently of my unit tests in my app. This extension is nice for anyone wanting to do just simple HTTP request testing but Postman really does do substantially more

Agree 100%. You want to separate your cognitive workload off to different screens/windows in a very clear way. The only way an integrated http request tool could win me over is if it could be scripted to run tests during debugging...
