verb VS Kreya

plz-see: Interactive HTTP client, similar to restclient and verb, but using Elisp instead of a special text-based syntax.

Ah, btw. I just realized, verb's verb-send-request-on-point doesn't always properly work with source blocks. So I pushed a fix, PR is here.

have you checked this https://github.com/federicotdn/verb . Its emacs package and i am able to write and test api's with text files.

Not as usable for testing, but verb.el[1] is a great tool for doing something very similar in org-mode

I've been a long time user of the org-mode code blocks feature—storing runnable code block inline in the document. Something I've recently started using is verb to include HTTP requests in my documents when I'm testing out web APIs.

Looks also interesting, but it doesn't fit my use cases: I need custom functions to grab values/data from other sources (e.g. pocket-reader.el).restclient` is more about having pre-defined HTTP requests (path, headers, payload etc.) in a buffer and a major mode for executing the requests. Pretty much the same what verb offers.

There is also verb.el.

Looks very nice; I've also given up with Postman. gRPC support would probably get Bruno into my daily workflow immediately. I spent a couple hours in Postman trying to get gRPC to work and could not- the .proto files were never used successfully, and I had better experiences with Kreya [0] and grpcui [1].

Kreya [1] can do that. It is even optimized for it, so that diffs should be perfectly readable.

As one of the creators, I can recommmend https://kreya.app. It is not open source (like Postman), but has a strong focus on privacy and also stores the data locally.

As it has more powerful features (IMO) than most alternatives listed here, I am a little disappointed that it isn't mentioned more often.

There is also https://kreya.app, which has more features, but is closed-source

Given the recent update[0] pushed by the Insomnia team I am now looking for alternatives.

For now the best alternative I've found is Bruno[1]. But sadly it does not support gRPC.

Does anyone have a better solution?

These are some options I've looked into:

- https://hoppscotch.io/

- https://hurl.dev/

- https://recipeui.com/

- https://kreya.app/

- https://github.com/flawiddsouza/Restfox

[0] - https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/issues/6585

[1] - https://github.com/usebruno/bruno

If you need gRPC, I can recommend https://kreya.app/

I like Kreya (kreya.app), but I am biased, since I am one of the creators :)

Have you tried Kreya? While it does not support all of the many features of Postman, it has some innovative features. While also being web-based, it uses the native WebView of the OS, resulting in less RAM-usage than Electron based apps.
