As a developer, it is inevitable to deal with various APIs, whether it is integrating third-party APIs or writing API interfaces, managing APIs and debugging is essential. To do a good job, you must first have good tools that can greatly improve efficiency. The tool I am going to introduce is ApiPost.

Among the many developers I have encountered, most of them prefer to use Postman as their API debugging tool. Postman has rich features, but it is slow to use in China and sometimes cannot be connected. ApiPost, as a domestic API debugging tool, does not have these problems.

Introduction

ApiPost is an API debugging and management tool that supports team collaboration and can directly generate documentation. It supports common requests such as simulating POST, GET, and PUT, making it an indispensable tool for backend interface developers, front-end developers, and interface testers.

Features of ApiPost

• Convenience: Supports quick generation and one-click export of various formats of API documentation while debugging interfaces.
• Security: The entire site implements the HTTPS protocol. At the same time, the online version stores data in an encrypted form in the cloud, ensuring 100% privacy and security.
• Cross-platform: Provides Windows client, Mac client, Linux client, Firefox extension, and Chrome extension.
• Supports carrying COOKIE requests to simulate login.

Limitations of the Free Version

The free version of ApiPost supports creating up to 6 projects, each project can create up to 10 folders and a maximum of 100 interfaces. This should be sufficient for small teams or individual developers. The professional version is not expensive either. The following is a comparison of the features of each version.

User Experience

ApiPost has a very similar interface to Postman (as shown below), but the advantage is that it is in Chinese, and the login and synchronization speed is faster than Postman, making it more user-friendly.

Conclusion

Postman is undoubtedly excellent, with powerful features and a large user base. However, the emergence of ApiPost provides another choice. In short, different people have different preferences, and the best choice is the one that suits oneself.
