RapidAPI for Mac Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Learning API Requests with GUI client - The easy way🚀🚀

  Although Apidog is a popular REST client, you can also use others, such as Insomnia, RapidAPI for Mac, and Hoppscotch. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Sending both File and JSON in One Request to Spring Boot

  But it can't help when faced with this complex scenario because it doesn't support set the content-type for text field of a multipart request. I tried Paw, Bruno and they didn't work either. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• The Best Alternatives to Postman for API Testing

  To use Paw, purchase and download it from the Paw website. Open the app, create a new request, and start testing your API endpoints with ease. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• Ask HN: Alternatives to Postman?

  Enjoy it while it lasts: https://paw.cloud/. Really good. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Bruno

  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 / about 1 year 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 / over 1 year 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 / over 1 year 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 / over 1 year 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: almost 2 years 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: almost 2 years 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 2 years 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 / about 2 years 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 2 years ago

• Web client to test your REST APIs

  Better than Postman? Clearly you’re talking about Paw. https://paw.cloud. Source: over 2 years 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 2 years 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 3 years ago
