About:
Insomnia is a powerful HTTP and GraphQL client designed for API development and testing. It provides a clean interface for crafting requests, inspecting responses, and organizing API specifications. The tool supports multiple authentication types, environment variables, and code generation for various languages.
|
Key Features:
- GraphQL and REST client with schema introspection
- Environment variables and templating support
- Plugin ecosystem for extended functionality
- API spec design and documentation tools
- Git sync and team collaboration features
|
Use Cases:
- Developing and testing RESTful APIs
- Querying GraphQL endpoints with auto-completion

|
Alternatives:
-
Postman
– Postman offers more team collaboration features but is heavier and requires an account for full functionality

– Bruno is open-source and stores collections as plain files, making it better for Git-based workflows
-
Hoppscotch
– Hoppscotch is web-based and lightweight, but lacks native desktop performance and offline capabilities
