What is Doppler?
Doppler is an open-source alternative to Postman focused on API testing and development. It offers a clean and intuitive interface to:
- Construct and send HTTP requests with support for variables, environments, and authentication
- Inspect server responses including headers, cookies, and body
- Generate code snippets to quickly integrate APIs into applications
- Mock servers and endpoints to simulate responses during development
- Automate workflows for continuous integration testing
Key features include a graphical request builder, response syntax highlighting, OAuth 2.0 support, mock server simulation, snippets for over 10 languages, customizable workspaces, CI/CD integration, and more.
It works cross-platform on Linux, Windows, and Mac providing a free and open source alternative to Postman. Doppler focuses specifically on API testing use cases as opposed to a general API client or documentation tool.
With robust API development and testing capabilities, growing open source community support, and regular updates, Doppler is positioned as a leading free replacement for Postman catering to developer workflows.
