I would like to hear if any of you are using different app for API testing than Postman.

I’m not telling that Postman is bad, but maybe there’s all that I should check out. Recently I tried RapidApi and even tho the app is kinda cool I missed few options and went back to Postman for now.

I completely stopped using all those clients. We now just store the requests alongside the code in an http file and use the built in IntelliJ HTTP Client to make the call. No need for a separate program, integrates with your code, you can save responses to make sure they don't change, it's all stored in git. There's a ton of benefits and not many downsides.

Once I learned about http files I never went back. It's so easy to share and use, I primarily use JetBrains but there are extensions for VSCode that do the same thing that I have used as well.
