Requestly API Client is a lightweight, Git-native desktop API client for designing, building, and testing REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and gRPC APIs, positioned as a privacy-first Postman alternative. It supports local workspaces, Git sync, environments and variables, pre/post scripts with JavaScript assertions, collection runs, and a standalone CLI for CI/CD pipelines.

Use cases

  • test rest apis from a desktop app
  • replace postman with a privacy-first api client
  • run api collections in ci/cd pipelines
  • introspect and query graphql endpoints
  • send grpc and soap requests
  • import postman or openapi collections
  • write api assertions in javascript
  • keep api collections in sync with git

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight Postman alternative with local-first storage and Git-native collections
  • you need to test REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and SOAP from one tool
  • you want to run API test collections in CI without a desktop app
  • you need self-hosting or full data sovereignty for API testing

When to avoid

  • you need deep API mocking or virtualization features rather than request sending
  • you rely on Postman-specific enterprise integrations or Newman workflows
  • you want a browser-based client rather than a desktop application
  • you need AI test generation without a paid Pro plan
