I mostly use httpie on the fish shell with autocompletion for quick requests, but it's no replacement
httpie now also has a postman-like UI! Been using it for a while and I'm liking it for what it is - https://httpie.io/app
I also have been using httpie for a few years - it is really great.
Recently I have started using nushell which has a similar module builtin: https://www.nushell.sh/commands/docs/http_get.html Combined with rest of the nicities in nushell its a pretty good cli experience.
How’s nushell been for you so far? I took a look at it once when it was relatively new and was missing some features I needed, like shell scripts.
I like it. The docs are a bit scattered and I haven't switched to it completely, but it has proven to be very handy for some scenarios where I scrape some content from external sources and pull them into a local sqlite as a long term structured archive.
