Open API TesterFrequently Asked Questions
Is this a replacement for Postman?
For quick API testing, yes. No download or signup needed. For complex workflows with collections and environments, Postman is still better.
Can I test APIs that require authentication?
Yes. Add your Bearer token, API key, or Basic Auth credentials in the headers section.
Does it support CORS-restricted APIs?
Browser-based tools are subject to CORS policies. If an API blocks cross-origin requests, you may need to use its CORS proxy or test from a server.
