About:
Insomnia is a powerful HTTP and GraphQL client designed for API development and testing. It enables developers to construct, send, and analyze requests with features like environment variables, code generation, and plugin extensibility. The alpha channel provides early access to the latest features and UI overhauls, including native OpenAPI design and advanced testing workflows.
|
Key Features:
- GraphQL and REST client with schema introspection and autocomplete
- Environment and variable management for multi-stage workflows
- Plugin ecosystem and scriptless testing with ChaiJS assertions
- Native OpenAPI design, linting, and documentation generation
- Git sync and team collaboration features
|
Use Cases:
- Developing and debugging RESTful APIs and GraphQL endpoints
- Automating API tests and generating client code snippets
- Designing and documenting APIs using OpenAPI specifications
|
Alternatives:
-
Postman
– Postman offers broader team collaboration features, while Insomnia is often preferred for its cleaner UI and robust OpenAPI-native workflow.
-
Bruno
– Bruno stores collections as plain text files on disk, making it highly Git-friendly, whereas Insomnia provides a more feature-rich GUI and built-in OpenAPI tooling.
