So you're building an app that makes various HTTP requests, eh? You know how to make the API calls, whether you're using a library or good ole .fet...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We've build Postwoman (postwoman.io) a web online, open sourced API request builder. Might come handy to test APIs without installing another electron app, and can be used on mobile, tablet etc.
GitHub: github.com/liyasthomas/postwoman
OH MY GOSH... I know what I'll be playing with later on today 😻
You should! Share among your friends & teams. All paid features of postman is being implemented in postwoman. And its free and always will be open source.
We're open for contributions 🙏😉
Insomnia is much more powerful than shown here unfortunately. You can define environment variables, put constant value in them or extract a value from response and save them in environment variable. This is very useful when testing dependant routes. Generate client code from your request (e.g CURL), saved me a ton of time when you are in VPN on a server machine and calling you service. Almost forgot, plugins, simply install with npm, themes and much much more.
I recently switched from insomnia to postman due not having a way to sync your workspace as postman has. Waiting for this feature someday to switch back.
We can store our collection as a github repo and sync with as we do with any other remote repo
Not sure if this is new but thought it might be helpful.
Absolutely! There are so many awesome features of Insomnia that I didn't include in this quick tutorial.
If you have the time, make a follow up. I just want what's the best for the Insomnia, to be presented in the best light. Thanks
Wow this is so cool!!
Thank you Katie! Backend has always been my favorite and being lost in Insomnia was spooky, this article caught me back up!
Hi,
Thanks for this excellent tutorial on Insomnia. However, I cannot go through some topics where an authorization is needed. Could you help?
