Scalar
Scalar is a modern, open source API platform designed to help developers create, document, test, and manage APIs through a unified, interactive environment built around the OpenAPI standard. It transforms OpenAPI specifications into clean, visually appealing, and interactive API documentation that allows users to explore endpoints and test requests directly within the interface, combining documentation and a full-featured API client in one place. It includes a built-in REST API client that supports sending requests, inspecting responses, handling authentication methods such as API keys and OAuth2, and working with environment variables and dynamic parameters. Scalar also offers tools for generating SDKs, managing and versioning API specifications with Git integration, and creating documentation that stays synchronized with the underlying API through Markdown or MDX workflows.

Posting
Posting is an open source terminal-based API client designed to help developers build, test, and manage HTTP requests directly from the command line through a fast, keyboard-centric interface. It functions as a modern alternative to tools like Postman or Insomnia, but instead of a graphical interface, it runs as a text-based UI (TUI), allowing efficient workflows locally, over SSH, or inside remote environments and containers. It enables users to create and organize API requests into collections stored as simple, readable YAML files, making them easy to version control and share across projects. It includes features such as autocompletion, syntax highlighting, command palette access, and “jump mode” navigation to quickly move through the interface, along with support for importing and exporting cURL commands and integrating with editors like Vim for editing request bodies.
