• Building a RESTful API with Node.js and Express

  Use tools like Postman or Insomnia to test the API endpoints and ensure they behave as expected. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Make your Azure OpenAI apps compliant with RBAC

  We will be performing all of the authentication requests manually, however for testing purposes, you might want to use an API testing tool such as Postman or Insomnia. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Local automation

  For a very long time, the go-to tool was curl. Great, always available command line tool. Unfortunately, there is one small issue. It’s hard to keep requests and collect them in collections, it’s great for one-time shots or debugging, but for constant working with API could be painful. To solve it, I started working with tools like Postman/Insomnia. Then eh... Strange licensing model, or changes which occurred... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Tools that Make Me Productive as a Software Engineer

  At first, I used Postman for testing APIs because it had a lot of features. But I switched to Insomnia because it was easier to use and kept everything organized. The big problem with Insomnia was that it deleted all my saved work when it made me create an account to keep using it. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Different Levels of Project Documentation

  Often used for cases where a project exposes a REST or other type of API service. Open API is a popular method of documenting such API services. It can also be used along side tools such as Swagger Codegen to produce boilerplate code for API interaction / testing purposes. There may also be support files for popular API testing tools such as Postman or Insomnia. This makes it easier at a glance to see what data is... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• The Stainless SDK Generator

  Lots of these have been popping up lately, they all seem really good. https://buildwithfern.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Show HN: REST Alternative to GraphQL and tRPC

  Thank you for your encouraging words and insights! There are indeed popular DSLs and code to openapi solutions out there. Many of which are easy to plug in to the openapi-stack libraries btw! I guess I personally always found it frustrating to try to control the generated OpenAPI output using additional tooling and ended up preferring yaml + a visualisation tool as the api design workflow. (e.g. Swagger editor)... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2023)

  Fern (YC W23) | Founding Engineer | New York City | $125k-$175k + equity | Full Time | Open Source | https://buildwithfern.com REST APIs underpin the internet but are still painful to work with. They are often untyped, unstandardized, and out-of-sync across multiple sources of truth. With Fern, we aim to bring great developer experiences to REST APIs. Our stack is Next.js +... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• tRPC – Move Fast and Break Nothing. End-to-end typesafe APIs made easy

  I think part of why tRPC shines is because it's tightly coupled to TypeScript (and especially Zod, its schema validation library of choice - many of its features map 1:1 onto TypeScript concepts that don't exist in many other languages), which means it can avoid many of the issues that OpenAPI generators have. I'd also like to see a good TS-first OpenAPI client - Fern [0] is probably the closest I've seen.... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• tRPC – Move Fast and Break Nothing. End-to-end typesafe APIs made easy

  For cross-language, I can recommend Fern, which works with OpenAPI http://buildwithfern.com. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
