Just use curl
Guess what? Just use curl
This site is hilarious
Sadly is the only article on there
He doesn’t owe you shit
Yeah he doesn't.
... But he still should, if he knows what's best for him
And for a multi-step flow put it in a shell script
I really should link people to this site more often. The author is 100% correct.
Can it be done in Bruno? Postman went to shit in the last few years with cloud/AI integrations.
Bruno <3
Didnt Bruno lied and added a subscription too?
I use Posting, great TUI.
Yeah it's not fully open source. Sadly there are paid features now.
Bruno projects can be used with git easliy without leaking your credentials :)
yes it can. you can use voiden.md as well - also open source, plain text, markdown all the way and also keeps collaboration in git.
I dislike postman. I see job postings that are like "MUST KNOW POSTMAN". Fuck, people should know how to make API requests but postman isn't the only tool for that.
Furthermore, if I'm doing automated tests to run on PR I'm not going to use a GUI. Pytest or jest or whatever testing library your language has.
I did use Bruno for a while for convenience during local development, though.
I saw a job posting the other day that had a hard requirement of 7+ years of experience with a specific IDE. It was phrased as an absolute must have.
That's how you know an organization is totally clueless. TBF, not all IDE's are created equal but it would be kind of like a construction foreman refusing to hire a anyone who didn't have 7+ years of experience with DeWalt power tools.
MFW I go to recommend Insomnia instead, then realize that it's apparently enshittified with "create an account" bullshit too.
I once used that thing and couldn't figure out why I got errors. After hours I realize postman was sending headers you didn't specifically configure and that caused it to fail.
collaboration is already happening on git - so API clients that allow this are a good solution: voiden.md, yaak and others are doing this as well.
Ran into this at work too. They just nixed the free group tier. I hope here are opensource alternatives we can pay for.
our team uses Bruno. We have nothing to complain about. And each request being a simple text file you can check into git is also really great.
