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
