If you're a backend dev writing an API you should be writing automated tests. Clicking around in a GUI app is not the correct way to do things.

If you're exploring someone else's API there are lots of other clients you can use. Resonance seems pretty solid to me. Don't get what's the point of all the extra faff in Postman.

If you want to get real basic there's always ol' reliable curl.

It is exhausting to do especially while developing, keeping up with changes is hard in the long run.
