Their Pitch
Where the world builds APIs.
Our Take
It's a visual testing playground for developers who need to check if their software connections work. Way better than writing code just to see if an API call returns the right data.
Deep Dive & Reality Check
Used For
- +**Writing code to test if your payment system works properly** → Click a button, see if it returns success or error codes
- +**Your app breaks when Instagram changes their connection rules** → Set up monitoring that alerts you when connections fail
- +**New developers can't figure out how to connect to your database** → Auto-generate documentation showing exactly what data goes where
- +Simulate fake responses from services that aren't built yet - test your app before the other team finishes
- +Run the same 20 connection tests automatically when you deploy new code
Best For
- >Your team builds apps that connect to other services and you're tired of debugging connection issues in production
- >You're manually testing the same software connections over and over again
- >Need to document how your software talks to other systems so new developers don't break everything
Not For
- -Solo developers testing one simple connection occasionally — the learning curve isn't worth it for basic stuff
- -Teams that don't build software or connect different systems together
- -Anyone hoping this will replace writing actual application code — it's for testing connections, not building apps
Pairs With
- *GitHub (where your automated connection tests run every time someone commits code)
- *Slack (where the team gets alerts when your payment processor goes down at 2am)
- *Swagger (for designing connections before you build them, then testing them in Postman)
- *Jenkins (to run all your connection tests automatically when deploying)
- *MongoDB (the database you're testing connections to)
- *Stripe (the payment service you're making sure actually processes transactions)
The Catch
- !The free version has limits but they don't publish exactly what they are — you'll hit a wall and get surprised by pricing
- !Advanced features require JavaScript knowledge, so it's not actually no-code for anything useful
- !Your connection tests in Postman might work fine, then fail in your actual app because of browser security rules
Bottom Line
The standard tool for testing software connections without writing test code every single time.
