HugoWhat are y'all using for firing requests at APIs for testing now that postman is requiring a login and what not? I don't mind paying for a tool like that, I just do not need online workspaces and more logins.
Timo Bakx@botteaap ever since PostMan started spamming me to start using their paid teams thing, I switched to Insomnia. It took a bit of time getting used to it, but I'm quite happy with it now.
@timobakx Cool, that's two votes for Insomnia. I see it can import my postman collections, so I'll give that a try!
@botteaap I spent most time reconfiguring automated auth headers.
In PostMan, I had it set up so a variable would be filled after I fired the auth call, so the other calls could use it.
In Insomnia, I set up the other calls to execute the auth call and pull the token from the response body if needed.
So it's a bit of a reversed setup.
The only thing that I really miss is the ability to set up auth configs for entire folders of calls. In Insomnia, I have to add it to each call individually.
@timobakx ah that's a good heads up, since I have a similar situation for one of my projects, thanks!
@botteaap if you decide to go with Insomnia, feel free to ping or DM if you want some examples.
@timobakx Just tried it, that will do ;) Can you copy the tags though? I need to set it up per request now which is a bit tedious.
@botteaap yeah, you can copy and paste the entire variable and pointer (the entire colored thing).
@timobakx 🤦♂️ OK that was obvious and also not super obvious 😬
