I use Postman to connect via API to firewall (and send commands). I like the interface and how it works. I usually write in Json and Postman helps me in avoiding mistakes. You should try Postman, you'll like it.

Most essential API management tools out there.

Postman is a great tool for Developers specifically those who work with APIs . You can do collaboration by working in the same workspace from the Postman to connect with your team and share files and codes and api response etc. More over you can develop and design your api you can test it. You can access third parties like cloud providers and code source management softwares .

The tool has significantly streamlined my API development and testing workflow, making my job as a developer much more efficient. I appreciate its intuitive interface, powerful features, and collaborative capabilities. While there are a few areas where improvements could be made, the benefits of using Postman far outweigh the drawbacks.

We use postman to test our laravel api endpoints. and since we reuse a lof ot backend logic it comes handy to test that everything works. the embedded json beautifier is also very appreciated.
