API Testing Tools That Help Me Talk to Servers Without Losing My Cool
APIs are like conversations between systems
Sometimes they whisper, sometimes they scream
These tools help me understand what’s being said
And make sure the message is getting through, clearly and correctly
Tools I Use for API Testing
Postman
My most-used tool for sending and testing requests. Whether it’s checking a simple GET call or chaining multiple requests in a workflow, Postman handles it all with ease. I also use it for creating collections and saving test cases.Swagger
I often start here to understand what an API is supposed to do. It’s helpful when reading through documentation and testing endpoints directly, especially during early development stages.
APIs don’t always respond the way we expect
But with the right tools, it’s easier to ask the right questions
And catch what’s broken before the users do
