Insomnia

Collaborative API client for design, testing and debugging

About Insomnia

Insomnia is an API development platform from Kong for designing, debugging, testing and mocking APIs. Developers use its desktop client to send HTTP, GraphQL and gRPC requests, organize them into collections and environments, and manage variables and authentication without repetitive manual setup. Teams can collaborate on API designs, keep specifications in sync with Git, and automate testing as part of a delivery pipeline. A local-only scratch pad mode keeps quick experiments entirely on your machine. Insomnia's Essentials plan is free per user, including that free-forever scratch pad, while Pro and Enterprise plans add collaboration, governance and support features.
