Any terminal based solutions for Postman/Insomnia/Nightingale? I am just using curl and text files for api testing.


I found https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch recently and it's quite nice. There's also a VSCode extension that doesn't look like it's actively developed any more: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rangav.v...


Try https://httpie.io/cli

No affiliation... just happy user relieved at deleting Postman :)


Also xh and curlie


From much earlier [1], hurl [2] supports some really great features and definitely worth looking into for repetitive HTTP tasks.

There is a cli tool to run postman collections: https://github.com/postmanlabs/newman

You still have to create the collections in Postman, however.
