For those griping about using JSON manually with their APIs ... This tool is a big help for working with GRPC (at least from cli)

There’s also BloomRPC, which is like Postman/Insomnia for GRPC:

Insomnia and Postman also support gRPC now as well. Lots of choices.

I found insomnia's grpc support a bit lacking - notably, it won't refresh the grpc definitions from disk without reloading your whole environment, and doesn't auto-populate the window with the keys. The latter is a more minor concern, but when you have larger protos it does become annoying.
