I am currently working on a project which has an API-Interface. I am now searching for a tool that can help me test the API. It would be nice if this tool can test local and public. Another point would be that the tool can run over the command line of a Linux system so that the tests can be run every hour or so.
I tested Postman which was nice, but before I pay 10$ I want to know if there are other tools. A colleague tested JMeter and found it very bad.
Have you taken a look at apifortress.com Testing locally isn't as simple as testing from the cloud (you can installed a dockerized version), but you schedule the tests without having to run any calls from the command line.
Since I'm a python developer, python requests modules works well for me. I can run it from command line.
I haven't used this personally, but thought swagger should have something: npmjs.com/package/swagger-test

I always use Postman and i have not found any tool better than postman at testing my API Endpoints.
