What are some good alternatives of Postman?

What are some good alternatives of Postman for API development? Looking for at least following features -

  1. Functional Hit-n-run testing of HTTP APIs
  2. Assertion testing
  3. Collections, folders/grouping, building APIs
  4. Code generation in popular programming languages

      Hi, just for my research can you tell me why you prefer Insomnia over Postman?

      1. 1

        Insomnia includes also API-Testing and is pretty future rich (if you choose the Insomnia-Designer Bundle (which also free to use)

        The interface is more intuitive compared to postman.

        It's generally nicer in every way.

        GraphQL, organisation of endpoints, UI design, variable insertion, auth, all work great.

    Why do you need an alternative?

      Hi, Just checking if there is something better I'm unaware of. Also I see some gaps in Postman and I wish to see if other products are filling them. eg. no-code assertions, load-testing, API profiling etc.

    You can check out https://www.telerik.com/fiddler. It was free years ago. Telerik/Progress acquired it a few years back.

      Nice find, thanks!
