CheckcraftBruno: an API client overview and comparison with Postman
Checkcraft is a desktop app for checking APIs and logs without code, with a free edition. Download, no sign-up →
People choose Bruno to keep requests next to the code in Git without depending on a cloud. Here is what it offers, how to move from Postman and where it will not help.
Bruno in brief
Bruno is a free open-source API client for Windows, macOS and Linux. Collections are stored as plain-text files in your repository, so they show up in Git, go through review and need no cloud. According to its makers, there is no cloud sync, no account and no login.
How to move from Postman
Export the collection from Postman as Collection v2 or v2.1 and import it into Bruno with the plus in the sidebar and Import Collection. Environments move separately. Bruno translates common pm.test, pm.environment and pm.response calls during import, but complex scripts are worth checking by hand.
Who Bruno suits and who it does not
Bruno is good for a developer team that writes checks in JavaScript and keeps everything in Git. If a tester or analyst without programming should own the checks, and you need Kibana logs next to the API response, look at Checkcraft: checks are rules there, and Postman collections import too.
Repeat this on your own API
Checkcraft is a desktop app that saves API response checks without code and shows what did not match. Start with a sample, then use your own sanitized data. Free runs on Windows and Linux with no time limit.
