I ve been experimenting with ways to streamline API testing without switching between Postman and VS Code. To explore this, I built a small extension that lets you send requests, debug responses, and visualize data directly in the editor.
Over the past couple of months, I ve seen some interesting adoption numbers (300+ acquisitions with ~100 page views), which made me wonder:
How do you all handle API testing in your workflow?
Do you prefer dedicated tools like Postman/Insomnia?
Or do you integrate testing directly into your editor/IDE?
What features would make an in editor API tool genuinely useful for you?
Conduit is a VS Code extension that brings AI‑powered API testing and debugging directly into your editor. Instead of switching between Postman or external tools, you can send requests, debug responses, and visualize data seamlessly — all without leaving VS Code.
Highlights:
> Quick API requests without context switching
> Debug responses inline with your code
> Visualize JSON and response data instantly
> Lightweight, developer‑friendly workflow
