If you need to test both REST and GraphQL APIs, a good all-around choice is Postman.
Why Postman works well
- Supports REST requests easily
- Supports GraphQL queries and mutations
- Lets you organize tests into collections
- Includes automation features for running tests repeatedly
- Good for manual debugging and team collaboration
Other good options
- Insomnia — also supports REST and GraphQL, with a clean interface
- Hoppscotch — lightweight, web-based, supports both
- Apollo Studio — especially useful if your GraphQL APIs are Apollo-based
Simple recommendation
- Postman if you want the most common, full-featured option
- Insomnia if you prefer a simpler UI
If you want, I can also suggest the best tool based on whether you need manual testing, automated testing, or CI integration.
