Posting is a terminal-based (TUI) HTTP client for testing and working with REST APIs, similar to Postman or Insomnia but keyboard-centric. Requests are stored as simple YAML files, making them easy to version control and use over SSH.

Use cases

• test rest apis from the terminal
• postman alternative that runs in a tui
• version control my api requests as yaml files
• use an http client over ssh
• import curl commands and openapi specs
• manage api environments and variables in the terminal

When to choose

• you live in the terminal and want a keyboard-driven API client
• you need to run API tests over SSH on remote servers
• you want requests stored as plain YAML files for git
• you want to import from curl, Postman, or OpenAPI specs

When to avoid

• you prefer a graphical GUI client with point-and-click workflows
• you need team-collaboration features like shared cloud workspaces
• you need GraphQL or gRPC-first tooling rather than REST
