If you are a developer then you know about the Rest API. So, as a Software Developer, either we consume the API or we develop and expose the API to other systems.
In both cases, we use the rest client to test and find the response data structure of the rest API. And, the most common tool for this purpose is Postman.
But do you know that you can test your rest API even without this tool?
I mean to say that, we don’t need to install any extra tool on our laptop or desktop only for REST API testing.
How to Test REST API without POSTMAN?
Now the question here is that if not Postman then which tool for REST API testing? And the answer is, we can do the same task with Visual Studio Code. All we have to do is to install an extension.
We can choose from various available extensions. Some of them are REST Client for Visual Studio Code and Thunder Client.
In these extensions, we can do all the work that we do in the POSTMAN or any other REST API tool to test the API.
So let’s install this extension in the VS code and see how it works.
We will check Thunder Client.
To demonstrate this I have made a video, watch this video completely.
Nice information.
Interesting VS code extension, I will use this.
