Don’t lose sleep: get [Insomnia][1]. + +The app is cross-platform and works on Linux, macOS and Windows. Its developer, Gregory Schier, told us that he created the app “to help developers communicate with [REST APIs][2].” + +He also told that Insomnia already has around 10,000 active users — 9% of which are on Linux. + +“So far, the feedback from Linux users has been very positive because similar applications (not nice ones anyway) aren’t usually available for Linux.” + +Insomnia aims to ‘speed up your API testing workflow’, by letting you organise, run and debug HTTP requests through a cleanly designed interface. + +The app also includes advanced features like cookie management, global environments, SSL validation, and code snippet generation. + +As I am not a developer I can’t evaluate this app first-hand, nor tell you why it rocks or highlight any major feature deficiencies. + +But I thought I’d bring the app to your attention and let you decide for yourself. If you’ve been hunting for a slickly designed GUI alternative to command-line tools like HTTPie, it might be well worth giving it a whirl. + +### Download Insomnia 3.0 for Linux + +Insomnia 3.0 (not to be confused with Insomnia v2.0 which is only available on Chrome) is available to download for Windows, macOS and Linux. + +[Download Insomnia 3.0][4] + +An installer is available for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and up, as is a cross-distro AppImage: + +[Download Insomnia 3.0 (.AppImage)][5] + +If you want to keep pace with development of the app you can follow [Insomnia on Twitter][6]. + + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/09/insomnia-3-is-free-rest-client-for-linux?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+d0od+%28OMG%21+Ubuntu%21%29 + +作者:[JOEY-ELIJAH SNEDDON ][a] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://plus.google.com/117485690627814051450/?rel=author +[1]: http://insomnia.rest/ +[2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer +[3]: https://github.com/jkbrzt/httpie +[4]: https://insomnia.rest/download/ +[5]: https://builds.insomnia.rest/downloads/linux/latest +[6]: https://twitter.com/GetInsomnia
