DevConsole inherits your app's cookies, tokens, and session state automatically. No manual header setup or environment variables.
Test APIs without leaving your application. See results inline where you're working.
Save API collections in your repo. Share with the team via Git, not cloud accounts.
Postman requires you to leave your app, manually set up authentication, and manage environments. DevConsole runs inside your app and automatically inherits your session state—perfect for testing authenticated endpoints during development.
For local development and testing authenticated endpoints, yes. For API documentation, mock servers, and CI/CD integration, Postman still has more features. Many teams use DevConsole for development and Postman for documentation.
DevConsole runs in your browser context, so it automatically includes all cookies, auth tokens, and CSRF tokens that your app uses. No configuration needed.
