I like Apidog a lot. Coming from Postman, I find it easier, simpler and more reliable. Things just make more sense. I'm a strong convert now and would recommend it to anyone looking for an API development tool. They're also in fast development mode releasing updates every 1-2 weeks. They listen to feedback too and are very responsive on Discord. While their documentation could use a bit more love, they're moving so quickly that the documentation is not always in sync with releases. I expect this to improve over time.

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Yukio, the product manager of Apidog Fast Request.
Today, we’re excited to introduce Apidog Fast Request on Product Hunt! 🚀
This free IntelliJ IDEA plugin is designed for seamless API testing directly within the IDE, helping development teams streamline workflows and dramatically enhance productivity.
-->> ❓ Why We Built Apidog Fast Request
In API development, there are several common pain points that slow down the workflow and disrupt efficiency. We developed Apidog Fast Request to address three of the most significant challenges:
1️⃣ Constant Tools Switching: Developers often find themselves bouncing between their IDE, debugging tools, and manually copying URLs and parameters from code. This back-and-forth can be time-consuming and frustrating.
2️⃣ Intrusive Swagger Annotations: While Swagger annotations help generate OpenAPI Specifications (OAS), they often require heavy modifications to the codebase, leading to unnecessary complexity.
3️⃣ Manual OpenAPI Specification Writing: Writing OpenAPI Specs by hand is not only slow and tedious but also prone to discrepancies. Without real-time updates, the documentation can quickly fall out of sync with the actual code.
These challenges were major roadblocks to efficient API development, and that's exactly why we built Apidog Fast Request—to simplify these tasks and make the development process faster and more seamless.
-->> 🌟 What Apidog Fast Request Can Do for You
Here’s a quick look at how Apidog Fast Request can optimize your workflow:
🚀 Automatic Endpoint Detection & Request Execution: Instantly analyze and detect all API endpoints in your Java/Kotlin project. With just one click, send requests directly from IntelliJ IDEA—no need to switch to Postman or any other external tools.
📄 Generate OpenAPI Specifications: Create OpenAPI Spec files effortlessly, even if your code doesn't include Swagger annotations.
📊 Publish Stunning API Documentation: Generate professional, Stripe-like API documentation in seconds. Share it easily with internal teams or publicly, and enjoy clear, well-structured docs without the hassle.
🔎 Highly Flexible Configuration: Take advantage of a comprehensive set of pre-built rules, or customize your own to suit your specific needs.
-->> ♥️ We Need Your Feedback!
If you’re a Java/Kotlin developer, chances are you’ve experienced the frustration of switching between tools to debug APIs or dealing with disjointed workflows. We believe Apidog Fast Request can significantly enhance your API development workflow.
We’d love to hear your thoughts! Feel free to share your feedback and suggestions in the comments. 💓
