The key ingredients for consistent API quality

In an API-first model, your platform is only as good as the APIs that power it. APIs that don't break over time and that perform as expected will ensure a consistent experience for both API producers and consumers.

The process of API testing and debugging through Insomnia empowers teams to iterate rapidly and consistently produce secure and reliable APIs at scale.

API reliability

As changes occur to an API over time, it’s critical to proactively verify that the API will be able to operate as expected under various conditions.

API security

API testing and debugging helps ensure security credentials associated with APIs in the pre-production phase are consistently airtight and compliant.

API integration

Well-tested and interoperable endpoints can lead to seamless API compatibility, encouraging consumption and reuse across integrated systems and platforms.

Ensure your APIs operate flawlessly with Kong Insomnia

Organize Requests

Lay the foundation for API quality

Organize requests into structured collections to ensure all collaborators work from a single source of truth. Define endpoints, payloads, and authentication parameters that mirror your API workflows. 

Use pre-request and after-response scripting for dynamic testing, and leverage environment-specific variables for seamless collaboration, ensuring your team is aligned across development, staging, and production environments.

Automate Testing

Automate API testing and visualize granular results

Use the Collection Runner to execute an unlimited number of collection runs, upload sample data, and visualize granular test results to identify anomalies and maintain consistent API quality.

Leverage the Inso CLI to automate the running of collections in CI/CD pipelines so that they can be executed locally, on GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, Vercel, and other platforms.

Rapidly Debug

Streamline API troubleshooting with real-time debugging

Following the API testing phase, ensure your APIs are secure, reliable, and integration-ready with Insomnia’s native API debugging capabilities. 

Quickly experiment with API requests locally with the Insomnia Scratch Pad, or share collections with teammates and securely collaborate via RBAC to validate requests in real time across all common API protocols.
