>>108112919I legit never understood the business case behind Postman. It's an entire company built around "test your API". >I went through one of their online trainings>worked through the labs>slick UI>but legit didn't understand why you would do stuff in postmanThey have slick branding, and a cool graphic novel. But I'm somewhat amazed they built a business around API testing.What am I missing?
Stop using that bloated jeet electron garbage
anyone can vibe code a postman replacement in an hourjeet shit
>>108112986imagine the smell
>>108112919This guy should never have been a developer. If he placed the same amount in googling for alternatives as he did with writing that post, he would've easily found a solution.
>>108113761...do you not understand how widespread APIs are?
>>108114372No one uses APIs anymore, Faggot. It's old tech like X11.
I just use the console in my web browser. What is the use case for this shit?
>>108112919>curl -X POST
>>108114426pretty json formatting and some ease of use functions like converting username/password combos to basic auth header, and the ability to chain token acquisition to make oauth testing easier
>>108114398What do people use now then?
>>108112919https://justuse.org/curl/
>first thread fails>remakes another one next dayBoy, can't wait to see your third thread tomorrow!
>>108114463Uh... My browser already does that though...
>>108114398lol tell me you're unemployed without telling me you're unemployed
>>108114426It's fairly useful in a dev team. You can have a shared collection with a bunch of stored requests for the APIs you maintain and ones managed by other teams. "Shit, what was the endpoint that generates JWT for the billing team's API?" and it'll be right there in the shared collection. Saves you a bunch of digging through scattered incomplete Confluence docs when testing shit.
>>108112919stop using fedex and ups
>>108114514your browser does a whole lot extra in terms of security sandboxing that's not part of the basic http spec. hard to lock down exactly why a request chain might be failing with all the extra invisible details
