My go-to for testing APIs while building backends. Collections and environments save a lot of time. It has become heavier over the years and pushes login/cloud features, but it's still very capable.
Very handy for testing APIs while building Laravel backends. Collections and environments save a lot of time. The app has become heavier over the years and pushes you towards signing in, which is a bit annoying for simple testing.

Comments and Reviews
Very intuitive and flexible to query REST APIs
I used to like this product for getting some quick API testing done, but it's been crippled so much recently that it basically forces you to log in to do even the most basic stuff.
I used the free version, and in a recent forced update it became useless: all my collections disappeared, and without an account (not tested, my organization blocks the registration page) Postman only offers a sandbox so it's not possible to organize one's requests. Insomnia has because useless in the exact same way. That's what it is to become dependent on a supplier.

It used to be good. Now it forced auto-updates, AI, cloud accounts and regularly deletes user data. Avoid at all cost, unless you can find version 6 and avoid updating.
It is unacceptable to remove user data.
Was great but they now hold your data hostage. Opened the app one day and there had been an update that now locks all your local projects, collection, secrets, etc behind a cloud account. You cannot get to your configuration anymore unless you create a cloud account. Huge dick move by the company and I will not support that kind of behaviour. Looking for alternatives now.
