Most API clients follow the same tired playbook:
- Build a proprietary cloud.
- Lock in your formats, workflows, and data.
- Charge you extra to secure them.
Meanwhile…
Git has been the foundation of modern software development for over a decade.
It’s where your code, your tests, and your docs already live.
It’s where you’ve invested in security, permissions, audit logs, and backups.
So why are API collections treated like they’re special snowflakes that need their own platform?
Every API collection outside Git means:
- 2x security models, backup strategies, approvals
- No true versioning or history diffs
- Fragmented onboarding
- A mess
That duplication wastes time, fragments workflows, and increases risk.
The fix is obvious:
Use an API client that allows your collections to be in Git right next to the code they belong to.
No extra layer to manage. No parallel workflows to reconcile.
You get versioning, collaboration, CI/CD, and security for free.
Git-native API clients are inevitable.
