HTTP Toolkit vs. Insomnia vs. Runscope vs. SQL Server Data Access Components Comparison Chart

Skim through traffic with highlighting by content type, status & source, or use powerful filtering tools to precisely match the messages that matter to you. Examine the URL, status, headers & body of each request or response, with inline explanations & docs from MDN. Dig into message bodies with highlighting & auto formatting for JSON, HTML, JS, hex and others, all using the power of Monaco, the editor from Visual Studio Code. Precisely match requests, jump to them when they appear, and edit anything: the target URL, method, headers or body. Manually respond directly to requests as they arrive, or pass them upstream, and pause & edit the real response on the way back. Step through HTTP traffic request by request, or manually mock endpoints and errors. Create rules to match requests and respond with your own content, to quickly prototype against new endpoints or services.

An API Monitoring (Runscope) API test is a group of one or more HTTP requests executed sequentially to evaluate the uptime, performance and correctness of an API. For each step in the test, you can define Assertions to validate response data and Variables to extract data to be used in subsequent requests. A test Passes if all the assertions pass. A test Fails if any assertion fails, or another error is encountered, such as a network connection problem. Your customers shouldn’t be the ones telling you about downtime and breakages. Runscope supports the notification tools you already use, like PagerDuty, Slack, HipChat, email, webhooks and more. Proactively monitor service performance to quickly catch and debug API problems fast. Stay ahead of intermittent failures before they become major issues with the API Dashboard and daily API Performance Report. Verify that the structure and content of your API calls meets your expectations. Powerful and flexible assertions give you total control.
