hey guys. recenty Hoppscotch came into my attention in different blogs, but i was triggered to ask about it because I saw there is one instance at Pipedream.com. Is it fair to say that Hoppscotch is preffered at Pipedream vs other clients? I’ve regularly used Postman, and at some Zoom call with Pravin I think he was using and/or mentioned Insomnia. Are there any benefits i.e a tigher integration when using the Hoppscotch instance at Pipedream?

The biggest gotcha with the Hoppscotch instance hosted at https://hoppscotch.pipedream.com is I don’t believe it can send requests outside of the Pipedream domains.

I prefer a single client that I can organize APIs into folders, so I reach for Insomnia currently but curious to hear if others like other clients.

I wouldn’t say one is recommended or preferred over others, since in an HTTP trigger you can actually generate a test event (a.k.a. HTTP request) now without using a separate HTTP client.

Interesting, thanks for the input!
Yeah, I noiticed myself technically you wouldn’t need another client for API calling. But actually, PD and these clients address different objectives, responsabilities (integration platform vs api develoment)

Curous to hear too what other think, use other clients!
