Most recently, I worked at Step CI a Technical Founder and authored the API-Testing Framework (https://stepci.com) and Garph (https://garph.dev), a full-stack API-Framework, which brings the developer-experience of tRPC to GraphQL.
My passion is in making tools developers love using and make them more productive.

Insomnia REST client now requires an account
For automated testing, you should give Step CI (https://github.com/stepci/stepci) a try
Ps. I helped build it

TypeScript NPM Packages Done Right
The problem is that you can import commonjs modules in ESM but not the other way around. For stepci (https://stepci.com) we have chosen to not support ESM for this very reason. We want that the library “just works” for all our users

Show HN: Open-source Postman alternative with type safety
Hopscotch is not a Postman fork as far as I know.
You can also do request chaining with Step CI (https://stepci.com) and Hurl (https://hurl.dev)

There’s also Step CI: https://stepci.com

Local automation
For a very long time, the go-to tool was curl. Great, always available command line tool. Unfortunately, there is one small issue. It’s hard to keep requests and collect them in collections, it’s great for one-time shots or debugging, but for constant working with API could be painful. To solve it, I started working with tools like Postman/Insomnia. Then eh... strange licensing model, or changes which occurred from Kong side click, definitely push me again for some lookup. After checking different very popular tools and those not such well known I decided to use… Ansible. Sounds strange right? Let me explain this decision. For example, look at this code.

Tools that Make Me Productive as a Software Engineer
At first, I used Postman for testing APIs because it had a lot of features. But I switched to Insomnia because it was easier to use and kept everything organized. The big problem with Insomnia was that it deleted all my saved work when it made me create an account to keep using it.

Different Levels of Project Documentation
Often used for cases where a project exposes a REST or other type of API service. Open API is a popular method of documenting such API services. It can also be used along side tools such as Swagger Codegen to produce boilerplate code for API interaction / testing purposes. There may also be support files for popular API testing tools such as Postman or Insomnia. This makes it easier at a glance to see what data is coming back from a call so the user knows how to handle parsing the data.

Web scraping in 10 mins
Well, there is this website that I have been trying to scrape for a few days now. I had tried everything from scrapy splash on docker to almost giving up because I read somewhere that it was JavaScript rendered. Since the source code from the inspect part of the developer tools was different from the source code from the view-source:https//... on the same developer tools.How could this be possible? Then I kept searching on internet and found this concept; where you can mimic web-browsers requests from a server using an API program,and it worked magically. Some of the API programs are postman and insomnia. I prefer using insomnia for this particular case , feel free to use any other API program of your choice.
