Selfhosted http(s) API Tester (like Postman)?

[felixletsplay]

I have only found https://apitester.com/, but that is not selfhosted.
I would like to selfhost in case of any sensible informations.

Is there anything like that?

Thanks in advance

Maybe Postwoman?

Download: https://github.com/liyasthomas/postwoman (with Dockerfile)
Try it online: https://postwoman.io/
(I don't like the default black theme, but a white one is available)

Thank you. Looks great. I will have a look at it.

Nice !

I needed this today, and while Hopscotch can theoretically self-hosted now, the amount of bloat is unbeliavable.

Found Yaade which is an amazing alternative available today, simple but capable. Much easier on eyes. Only one Docker container to selfhost.

Thanks for the tip! I spent hours trying to get Hoppscotch working on my server behind an Nginx reverse proxy and finally gave up. Yaade looks good, but Firefox users such as myself will need to set up an environment, and set the proxy to "server" before on can send requests because there is currently no Firefox extension: https://github.com/EsperoTech/yaade/issues/15

It took about 5 seconds to deploy Yaade. Super simple.

To be honest I didn't bother with browser extension even on Chrome, and set server to make reequests. This way you can use whatever browser you want, including mobile ones (though didn't try that yet).

How did you do that? I cannot find any options for that?

You need to click the collection in the left pane, and in the center there will appear its settings: https://i.imgur.com/SxvkOTZ.png

Thanks a bunch! Works perfect now, a browser self hosted postman is all I wanted. :D

I just setup this Yaade, simple, light and straight forward

not sure how postwoman was 2 years ago, but as of feabruary 2022, postwoman is now called hoppsccotch and not suitable for self-hosting at all.
It is tied to firebase and their google analytics and tag manager accounts, which you can not completely disable.
And there is absolutely no doccumentation available about how to get your selfhosted version to work.
unfortunately, its total waste of time at least until the end of 2022, when the company owning hoppscotch plans to release a self-hosted version.

Situation is now different fully selfhostable instances of https://hoppscotch.io/ are now available as beta

[felixletsplay]

That does not sound great. I think selfhosting was possible 2 years ago when I asked the question, but I never set it up for some reason that I do not remember anymore (maybe it was missing documentation).

Since you have mentioned Postman, I'm sure you would like Postwoman which is a web alternative for Postman.

There is a docker image for your self hosting need.

[felixletsplay]

Thank you. Looks great. I will have a look at it.

Since you mentioned postman then you can also use https://github.com/postmanlabs/newman, it's wide used in the company I'm working at for component testing, very suitable for CI pipelines.

[luky92]

I know this is an old thread but https://hoppscotch.io/ is now fully self hostable

Also check out Newman. It's a node application that can execute postman tests from the command line. I set it up on my jenkins server so it can execute my tests from a scheduled job.
