Open source Paw alternatives

Hoppscotch: Open-source alternative to Postman

“Had a similar issue. You have to use their browser extension: . Click on this extension and add the domain you want to query. Then on Hoppscotch, go to settings and click "use browser extension to send requests." I was using Altair's desktop app to handle CORS, but may switch to…”

Hoppscotch: Open-source alternative to Postman

Insomnia 3.0 – A simple and beautiful REST API client

“I've used Insomnia in the past when I was evaluating various REST clients. At the time I was using mainly Burp and sometimes Postman. I did not stick to it mainly because I could not find some features that I needed for my work. From what I can see on the website, the new update…”

Insomnia 3.0 – A simple and beautiful REST API client

“I cannot agree more on this :) The first time I saw Insomnia last year, I found it already very well designed. It had a smooth UX on most basic actions and, I have to say, a fun use of the ".rest" domain name! I'm the founder of Paw and I can safely say that building a good UI…”

Show HN: A faster way to prototype your APIs using OpenAPI 3 and Swagger UI

“Hello. Yes, I have not prepared enough the description so guys and ladies I am sorry for that. Just added more information to the README.md file on GitHub. Answers to the questions: > - Read application code (written in python?) and extract an API specification? Is it flask…”

Show HN: A faster way to prototype your APIs using OpenAPI 3 and Swagger UI

“As other mentioned this the description is particularly non-user friendly for something that (as far as I understood) is related to a documentation management system. I'm mostly a backend GUI but still interested in learning more about web API. But the only description sentence…”

Keploy – Traffic-Based Automated API Test Generator

“A tool for developers that automatically generates APIs and integration tests from actual user traffic Running with keploy record without code modification captures network-level traffic with eBPF to generate tests and mocks. You can record API calls, DB queries, streaming…”

Ask HN: Please restrict new accounts from posting

“I've been a long-time HN lurker. Like many others, I never created an account to participate and mostly just read without posting. Today, for the first time, I actually have something I'd like to contribute: a personal open-source project I built with the community in mind and…”

Ask HN: Please restrict new accounts from posting

“I understand that something needed to be done. Still can't help but say that it's a pity. A blanket ban on new users posting doesn't seem right. There are many people like me who "followed" HN for a long time, but then decided to create an account recently to post and ask for…”

Resty - a bash REST client

“Its error handling is a little odd, and it doesn't detect unexpected commands. $ resty 42; echo $? resty: curl returned error 42 0 $ (curl was never called.)”

Collecting Inputs for Resty v2.0 and Plan the release

“The goal of this thread to collect feedback's from `resty` users and `plan v2.0.0` release. Action items get recorded here #167. - Things could be improved - Things could be added (generalized one's not specific use case) - Things could be removed Share your resty experiences…”

Effort shock: how the Karate Kid ruined the modern world

“I like this article; the message really resonates with me. For instance, I write music. But a good three minute song could take me days to write (and most musical artists usually take way longer than that). I like to animate, but a minute of animation could take even longer than…”

Effort shock: how the Karate Kid ruined the modern world

“I don't entirely agree with the author. It all depends on how you interpret the films. For me, the karate kid did not make expertise in karate look easy, but simply possible. It is important for people to realize that, given the appropriate training system, they can achieve…”

Show HN: Mockoon – mock REST APIs in seconds

“Hi! I created this new desktop app (made with Electron) to easily mock REST APIs locally. It's available for Windows / Linux / OSX and still in beta but with lots of features and a lot more to come. I developed it for my colleagues and me to help us easier the process of working…”

Show HN: Mockoon – mock REST APIs in seconds

“Raccoon and "Coon" are very different things. Being said Mockoon doesn't actually make that much sense, raccoons aren't known for mocking. Mockingbirds are, perhaps "Mockingbird"? MockBird? I'm sure you'll figure it out.”

WireMock

“More generally, it's useful for mobile development in the following scenarios: * The back-end API you depend on isn't ready yet * The back-end test server is slow, flakey etc. * You want to test scenarios you can't easily make happen on demand like slow responses, 503 errors,…”

WireMock

“I used WireMock extensively in a recent project that had a dependency on flaky REST API. Using the proxy/recording feature to quickly get some canned responses from the dependency allowed us to perform integration testing even though the dependency was frequently down...we…”

The import io.restassured.RestAssured cannot be resolved

“Hi Johan, I am getting the red squiggly lines when I use the below static imports: ` import static io.restassured.RestAssured.*; import static io.restassured.matcher.RestAssuredMatchers.*; ` My POM. xml has the below dependencies: io.rest-assured rest-assured 3.0.3 test…”

Cannot compare Long values within body

“As already faced in a body element cannot be compared to a long value. I think the best solution could be to allow function passing (as for headers) in order to convert the value to a long. E.g: ``` java long expected = 1L; when().get("/test/{id}", expected).…”

Cookie support doesn't work properly

“We had an issue with that and had to change it manually. In our case, the application send a jSessionId even if the user is not authenticated. A new one is sent when the user authenticate and it wasn't took by Gatling so we were always "unauthenticated". Actually, the first SET…”

Multiple gatling runs in single jenkins job?

“I'd previously asked about this an in issue filed against the gatling jenkins plugin project. It would be awesome if the Gatling jenkins plugin could find and archive multiple gatling reports from an individual jenkins build run, and graph them against one another in the trend…”

Connection is being rejected for localhost

“Expectation: If I specify "localhost" in the host address the request should not change to "127.0.0.1". Some web servers (in this case II Express) do not recognize 127.0.0.1. The server gets the request but is not be able to map against the correct web application. Symptom:…”

Others enhancements

“- VSCode Version: 1.3 - OS Version: Win 7 I don't know if it's better to create different issue but here is some proposition and sorry for the english :). Enhancement : - [x] Create a new document with the response content to avoid the white background. To be homogeneous with…”

Prism

“We used to have “SEO spam”, where people would try to create news (and other) articles associated with some word or concept to drown out some scandal associated with that same word or concept. The idea was that people searching on Google for the word would see only the newly…”

Prism

“Prism in tech is very well-known to be a surveillance program. Coming from a company involved with sharing data to intelligence services (it's the law you can't escape it) this is not wise at all. Unless nobody in OpenAI heard of it. It was one of the biggest scandal in tech 10…”

AutoRest: OpenAPI Specification code generator

“I asked the HN community for feedback on using Swagger Codegen, AutoRest last year: They're essentially the same but written in different languages (Java vs C#/TypeScript). Eventually we picked Swagger Codegen due to its active community and wide-range of supported…”

Ask HN: Compare AutoRest, Apimatic and Swagger Codegen

“I've worked on generating SDK's for a small startup last summer. I haven't tried AutoRest but I dabbled with ApiMatic and Swagger and ultimately went with Swagger. The biggest thing for me was that, while ApiMatic has a lot of really nice tools and options, I couldn't find any…”

Update dredd to support nullable attribute

“Dredd should properly test against the new `nullable` attribute supported by MSON and drafter. md `+ s1 (string, nullable)` json `{"s1":null}` I can help with this however I am not 100% sure if I need to make changes to drafter.js or protagonist? Thanks.”

Use token from CLI command

“Some CLI tools have a command to generate and print an auth token. One example is the [GitHub CLI]( You run `gh auth login` to log in and then `gh auth token` will print the token to stdout. I would like to have some kind of global var like `# @auth bearer {{token}}` but provide…”
