Curl.

Total feelings of superiority: immeasurable.

Facts!

I wanna say insomnia but I don’t know if it’s FOSS. It’s made by a company named Kong as a side project.

It's foss but got purchased by Kong and started becoming a bit too much of a product for my liking, it has a fork called insomnium that keeps development where it used to be before but it's no longer maintained sadly

Think I used this for a little while. It was pretty much a slightly better Postman, back when Postman itself was less annoying.

Frustratingly, at some point I opened Insomnia and it randomly lost all my requests/history. That soured me on it. Then when I tried it again a couple years later, it had that bad 'freemium' feel, even if it is still FOSS.

Hopscotch is nice. I'd like that feeling of superiority from using solely curl, tho

import requests

theUrl = r'https://threatbutt.com/map/'

response = requests.get(theUrl)

print(response.text)

Might as well use curl at that point
