  I myself use Paw [0] because it's native to MacOS, but I'm a little bit worried for it's longevity as it being supported by a SaaS business. But so far it's been great to document API for my personal projects. [0]: https://paw.cloud/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Just discovered a REST API client

  Another similar app already exists: RapidAPI. Source: 6 months ago

• Tell HN: Postman just wiped all my stuff

  If you’re on macOS, my preferred tool is Paw/Rapid API https://paw.cloud/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Tell HN: Postman just wiped all my stuff

  Paw (now RapidAPI) is a very good alternative, though I can't say they wont be under the same capitalist pressures as Postman. I paid $50, one time. https://paw.cloud/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Insomnia's V8 locks out prev data, forces account creation with o warning

  My understanding is that Postman unfortunately pulled the same thing lately, so that's unfortunately a no-go for you. I've previously had good experiences with Paw (now RapidAPI) - https://paw.cloud/, but given that they are closed source and have started giving away the software rather than charging for it, I'm not filled with optimism they won't do a similar rug pull. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Software Developer Mac Apps

  Paw / RapidAPI, which I formerly used for modeling HTTP requests on a server I was developing. I'm very skeptical about it today though, since it got bought by RapidAPI and is free now. Source: about 1 year ago

• MindMac - Intuitive native macOS app powered by ChatGPT API

  A good example for this is RapidAPI (formerly PAW). A Rest API client, which was developed in a way which simply is reasonable in terms of function and usability. In comparison, other clients, like Postman and all the clones, just feel like cramp and not well-thought-out enough. Source: about 1 year ago

• Wants to get data from an API but get the message that no data is available

  Have you tried making an API call directly to test it? I use Paw for this purpose (https://paw.cloud/). Most likely you’re messing up whether it’s a PUT, POST, GET, etc. You may also be malforming the call, such as by omitting an API key. Source: about 1 year ago

• Postman is limiting local collection runner to 25 runs for basic plans

  If you have macos I highly recommend rapidAPI https://paw.cloud postman is just to heavy for simple requests.. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Have been asked to build an API. Been using curl commands to query my current build. Are there other methods of querying that I should try and make available for the final product?

  I use rapidapi to test, for delivering to the customer I would give good docs and curl examples or swagger. Source: over 1 year ago

• Report: More Developers Use Linux Than a Mac

  There are tons and tons of small utilities that are great for developers such as Sip, TextSniper, ProxyMan, RapidAPI etc. Source: over 1 year ago

• Show HN: Ezy – open-source gRPC client, alternative to Postman and Insomnia

  Pretty happy with Paw (https://paw.cloud, macOs) also supports gRPC. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: Restfox – A web based HTTP client inspired by Insomnia and Postman

  Switched away from Postman to a native Mac app and my RAM couldn't be happier (https://paw.cloud). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Over 100 project ideas for developers learning any new programming language

  What if there was a way to load requests for a project from a variety of spec files and easily make those requests? Like a CLI version of Postman or Paw. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Web client to test your REST APIs

  Better than Postman? Clearly you’re talking about Paw. https://paw.cloud. Source: over 1 year ago

• Stress Testing with cURL

  There are plenty of tools for stress testing, read RapidAPI, paw, SoapUI, Postman, rest-assured, JMeter and so on! I'm sure they are amazing, however that's all big and heavy, slow, sometimes paid tools! - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: Kreya, a Postman Alternative

  If you’re on a Mac, I can recommend Paw (https://paw.cloud) - they have a native client that is super fast, provides great features and advanced dynamic values, and is just a joy to use. Don’t know about the GraphQL story, however. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Are there any lesser-known tools you use a lot in your work?

  Paw for a REST client and quickly sharing projects with teams. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Top tools to help you stay productive as a developer

  Another alternative you might want to look into is Paw – it’s a paid tool, and only available for macOS, but it has everything most people would need. The design is simplistic and modern, my only gripe is that it is so feature rich that it has a bit of a learning curve, and some basic actions felt a bit buried in the UI. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
