I see people complaining about what postman has become, but I never really saw the need for it to begin with.
When I'm exploring a new API I just do it in jupyter with python/requests. This way, when I figure out how to do what I want I already have some working code. I can see how this workflow would be a pain in a static language, but for dynamic languages I don't understand why more people don't do it this way.
- rplnt 5y agoTo be fair, you can export python code from Postman as well. And it allows you to load swagger/openapi spec which makes the exploration phase rather trivial. disclaimer: I also hate using Postman because it's too big, complex, slow
- toqy 5y agoYeah the real value of Postman for me is that often times other teams will have postman collections that you can just import and explore an api with. Not that I really like what Postman itself has become though.
