Postman alternatives? (programming.dev)

I would like to hear if any of you are using different app for API testing than Postman.

I’m not telling that Postman is bad, but maybe there’s all that I should check out. Recently I tried RapidApi and even tho the app is kinda cool I missed few options and went back to Postman for now.

is it based on the http file standard? https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/exploring-http-syntax.html

it seems like even jetbrains has a cli you can use https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/http-client-cli.html#environment-variables

It's very similar to what JetBrains has and you can easily translate between the two (assuming you aren't using assertions or any Hurl-specific features), but not exactly the same syntax.

I tend to go with Hurl because it's self contained and you can do things like throw it in your CI builds.

that's really neat... I've wanted to use it in CI but hadn't found a way. I might look into this.
