Recomendations for api tester ?

So first curl doesn't count   I'm searching for a good api tester, if it is FOSS like then better. I made a quick research and came with Bruno and yaade, but not sure if they are truly 100% open source and without crap, like postman, it seems it does not 100% fully open source doing quick research. I also don't remember if insomnia does have something tricky in their policy.

But TBH if you think that a tool that is not like FOSS is worth it, then post it anyways.

Re: Recomendations for api tester ?

What kind of API? Since you mention curl and postman, may I assume it's HTTP{,S} only?
And what kind of tests do you want to run? Integration tests, unit tests, acceptance tests, performance tests, regression tests, ...?

Yes, RESTful api and apis that are typical for web development.

And for the tests: unit test, integration tests and acceptances test.

But if you have some nice tools to recommend for other types of APIs then go ahead and make my day. But for now It's only for common web dev full stack work.
