Postman
FreeAn API platform for designing, testing and documenting APIs with shared collections and team workspaces.
About Postman
Postman is a platform for working with APIs. Its desktop app lets you send HTTP requests, inspect responses, organise requests in collections, write tests and scripts, manage environments and variables, and generate documentation.
The app supports REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket and other protocols, and includes tools for mocking servers, monitoring and collaboration in shared workspaces. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. A free plan is available, with paid tiers for teams that need more collaboration, governance and usage. Prices are not in the supplied data, so check the official pricing page.
It suits backend and frontend developers, QA engineers and technical writers who need to explore and test endpoints quickly. An account is encouraged and some features require sign-in and cloud sync, which may concern people who prefer fully local tools. Lighter alternatives exist for those who only need simple requests. Collections can also be run from the command line in automated pipelines, which helps teams reuse the same checks in continuous integration.
Be mindful of what you sync to the cloud, since collections can contain secrets. Use environment variables for tokens.
