Paw

Much better than Postman.

I love this app - every time I need to debug some funy network request, or check out the HTTP headers in details, Paw is always my go-to tool.

This is a completely amazing tool that does everything but capture the communications between the source and the target for analysis. (if it could do that like Cellist...) I have been using this tool for months and the feature set, capability and utility are superb. I have downloaded all other similar 'free' and "In app purchase" style competitors and none come close to comparing against Paw. Paw builds the HTTP (REST or really SOAP too) requests, allows you to execute them, even in some instances lets you chain response data from one response as input to another request. If you don't know how HTTP URL parameters, body parameters, forms, Oauth work (or even think you do) Paw is an excellent playground to experiment and learn. It is as much as of an interactive learning tool as it is a development tool (sign of good software, is how PageMaker launched the era of Desktop Publishing) Now if that was not enough, Paw can then teach you how Cocoa in Objective C or Swift works with NSURLConnection or NSURLSession classes by using the real-time code generation plugins to see the code generate as you change the URL parameters. Paw is like having a second team-mate, or a kindly mentor there working with you. Paw is not cheap at $50... but it is only expensive if you time is worth nothing with cheaper tools. And don't forget to check out Paw Prints, the interactive web tool account that comes with Paw. Best software purchase I made in 2016 at any price. And if it could capture HTTP traffic with a MTM function and generate the REST calls... that would be amazing.

This was a great app until version 3. Had no problem at the time paying for version 2. The nag screen refuses to go away on start now with version 3. Went through the website and everything to do the upgrade process. Pretty invasive. Reverting back.

Best part, version 3 corrupted all my .paw files and they can no longer be opened. Awesome.

Excellent tool, very flexible. Highly recommended. The ability to chain together requests is invaluable.

Nothing better than Paw for developing applications and creating workflow that relies on RESTful services. I used it while debugging a bus-stop applet for my iPhone and couldn't be happier. Purchased a license after evaluating the other options out there and finding them lacking. Also because someone that never even used the software gave it a one-star review because their tinfoil hat was on too tight.

Paw immediately phones home and a licensing window pops up. The demo version doesn't even run without a connection to some remote server. I'd rather fiddle with cURL for the rest of my life than pay for DRM infested spyware, so I immediately removed the app.

This app is really helpful with a great interface. So helpful that in addition to the Mac App Store version I bought the Non-Mac-App-Store version too (which was discounted at the time, but still ...).

The three 5* ratings given are from accounts that have no downloads and this only given rating. Feels like someone is trying to fake-improve the rating.
