Prompt
I'm building an internal tool and need a simple way to test REST APIs, what should I use?
Latest observation
For a simple internal tool to test REST APIs, the easiest options are:
- Postman — best all-around choice if you want a GUI, collections, variables, auth handling, and team sharing.
- Insomnia — simpler and lighter than Postman, great for quick manual API testing.
- cURL — best if you want something built-in, scriptable, and easy to automate from the command line.
If you’re building an internal tool and want the fastest path:
- Use Postman if non-technical teammates will use it.
- Use cURL if it’s mainly for developers and automation.
- Use Insomnia if you want a clean, lightweight GUI.
If you want, I can also recommend the best option based on:
- your team size,
- whether you need auth/testing environments, and
- whether it should be desktop, web, or CLI.

How can brands improve their AEO?
Brands can build Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) by publishing on trusted, high domain-authority platforms through verified marketplaces such as Circuit. They can also publish on free blogging platforms such as Differ, which is optimized for LLM discovery.
Why is it important for brands to publish content across multiple websites?
Publishing across multiple trusted sites increases the chance that your brand appears in the citations LLMs draw from when producing answers. Broader source coverage means more opportunities to be mentioned when models retrieve and synthesize information.
