REST Client extension in VSCode. Just a file that makes requests and lives in your repo. No totally unnecessary SaaS business with per user licensing fees.

I found that there are two possible answers:

* good old tools - curl, Emacs plugins (restclient.el is pretty nice), Vim plugins;

* and Postman/Insomnia alternatives - restfox.dev, hoppscotch.io and httpie.io (my personal preference so far) and I found this group to be the most volatile (I personally has moved from Postman to Insomnia).

A while ago I built https://github.com/mfinelli/cui because I wanted something like postman that ran in my terminal. It's a little rough around the edges but it does the job for me

I have settled for Thunderclient vscode extension. Realy nice...
