Hoppscotch
An open-source, browser-based API ecosystem you can self-host.
90
sovereigntyHoppscotch is an open-source API development tool that runs in the browser as an installable PWA with offline support, covering REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, and Server-Sent Events. It is quick to start with nothing to install, and teams that want a shared workspace can self-host the full stack on their own infrastructure. The default hosted experience at hoppscotch.io is cloud-based, with a paid cloud team tier for managed collaboration.
