Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Easily interact with APIs - manipulate requests, params, response. Build collections with different environments which are stored in a plain text markup language locally. Supports reading secrets. Includes scripting support for complex API interactions. Also has a CLI.

Tradeoffs

No sync of collections is a deliberate philosophy vs alternatives which makes collaboration harder, although you can just sync them via Git.
