Slumber is a terminal-based HTTP/REST client with both an interactive TUI and a CLI mode, built in Rust. Request collections are defined in YAML files that can be version-controlled, shared, and templated with dynamic values from other requests, files, or shell commands.

Use cases

• send http requests from the terminal
• test rest api endpoints interactively
• replace postman with a terminal-based client
• store api request collections in version control
• switch between api environments with profiles
• script http requests from the command line
• import requests from insomnia

When to choose

• you live in the terminal and want a Postman/Insomnia alternative
• you want declarative, shareable, git-friendly request definitions
• you need both interactive TUI and scriptable CLI usage from one config
• you want dynamic request chaining via templates and JSONPath response queries

When to avoid

• you prefer a graphical GUI client with point-and-click request building
• you need team-hosted shared workspaces or cloud sync of collections
• you mainly test GraphQL or gRPC rather than plain HTTP/REST
• you want automatic OpenAPI spec generation or mocking features
