What do you think? …

Niranjan Sukumaran
Hey, just a quick question. Do you provide any features over Postman?
Adam Kelly
@niranjan_sukumaran Just had the same thought
Chapman Lever
@adam_kelly @niranjan_sukumaran there are a couple differences. 1 big one is where the tests execute from. Postman is a browser plugin that tests from your local machine. API Tester tests from an AWS data center.

@niranjan_sukumaran Short answer: Yes. I love Postman, but we think that our tester allows for much more complex multi-endpoint testing all run in the cloud. And we let you share the results of tests through sharable links. Here's an example I created during our internal testing: https://apitester.com/shared/run... We also have a pretty powerful javascript scripting that lets you do all the things we don't already do. Here's a simple example of using our javascript step to fill-in functionality: https://apitester.com/shared/che...

@ricky_smith @niranjan_sukumaran Yeah okay, I'll give it a bookmark

How can this compete with the already established, massively popular, massively awesome and massively free - Postman?
J. Alexander Curtis
@angus_halen Haha yeah, its a tough market to get into for sure. As soon as I saw this I thought "oh so its kind of like a basic version of Postman"
Ricky Smith
@angus_halen I love Postman and I use it all the time, but I think our tester will have its place, too. I think our tester lets you to much more complex testing of a whole API and not just focus on a single endpoint. Here's a pretty complex example I used in some of our later internal testing: https://apitester.com/shared/run...

@_jacurtis I think if you dig a little you'll find it's not-so-basic and we'll be iterating on it quickly to add more features we know are important.

API Tester is a cloud-based testing framework for developers and engineers. It allows you to build and save scripts for testing the speed, reliability, and functionality of APIs. Oh yeah, it's FREE!

Do you use API Tester?
