Requestly

Requestly provides an API client that runs as a desktop application on macOS, Windows and Linux, designed to let teams design, build and test APIs in one place. It emphasizes local data storage, Git-native workflows, and collaboration through shared workspaces and local projects.

The product supports importing from Postman, cURL and OpenAPI, and offers features to manage requests, environments and variables. It also highlights a Git-based workflow with local projects and two-way GitHub/GitLab synchronization to keep API changes in line with code reviews and branching workflows.

Requestly presents a range of tools for API design, testing and automation, including a collection runner, API tests and assertions, and an AI test case generator. It emphasizes security with SOC-2 compliance, SSO, role-based access control, and data encryption, and is lightweight and developer-first with a focus on local execution and lack of cloud dependency.

It notes features like local projects, Git sync, secret management, audit logs, and private API networks, with an option to start a 30-day trial and to import Postman collections.

Use cases

• Developers manage API collections locally, then stage, commit, and push with Git
