I have used it for years, but they recently crippled it. it is unusable now.

SoapUI seem like it is too tied down to xml.

does anyone have suggestions?

I switched to Insomnia a while ago because it's less bloated.

    How do you deal with oauth2 with curl?

    • gregjor 2 years ago

      Google for “curl oauth2” for lots of helpful explanations and examples.

        It's not as straightforward as something like Insomnia because you have to write a script that will open a browser and pull the tokens from there.

          That depends. If you can use the command line and write a short script that’s just copy/paste from StackOverflow, curl is very simple.
