This is hilarious to me, after using the evil things for years . Of course, there are reasons to use the hated postman and companies (may they be forever cursed). And I plan to keep using them.

But many valid points are made

The only thing I still use Postman for at work is when running API performance benchmarks, as I wasn't yet motivated enough to write a curl wrapper to do such tests and plot the results. Especially when doing things like ramp up etc. it becomes more than a simple for-loop.

Can someone recommend an existing command line tool for that?

If you are running performance benchmarks, how about using jmeter?

Thank you, from a quick glance it seems to be able to do everything I need. I will try it for my next load test.
