Can't echo this enough. Thank you! Beyond just the login reqs from Postman, the whole Postman UI has become an overcomplicated mess in my opinion. I just want something simple to make remote HTTP calls. I can understand adding some useful extra things like variable interpolation and separate environments, but beyond that, Postman went way off the "enterprisey" deep end.

I use hurl, works absolutely great and the scripts end up reusable by others.


You should try insomnia


Insomnia and postman are pretty similar these days. I like the REST extension for VS Code and hurl


100%, its awesome. Link for those interested: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.re...


This also requires a login I believe


They locked users data behind a login screen a week after postman, then had a half assed "sorry you misunderstood our corrupt intentions, we'll back out the change" apology


Not at first but as of late, yes. :(


You can still use it without an account, although it tries quite hard to get you to use one.
