What you use for quick API checks?

Question

I often find myself needing to quickly check an API response &mdash; just to see what it returns or grab a specific field.For more complex stuff, tools like Postman are great, but for quick checks they sometimes feel a bit heavy. On the other hand, using curl or writing a quick script also breaks the flow a bit.Curious what others here use for this kind of &ldquo;quick inspection&rdquo; workflow.Do you have a go-to tool or habit for this?

Yeah, I know what you mean. I still use curl sometimes,but for anything beyond a basic GET, the monolithic nature of tools like Postman feels way too heavy. I recommend checking out Voiden, - all Markdown files and uses composable blocks, this makes it easy for quick, version-controlled tests. Good for the "quick checks" but also for more advanced workflows (collection runner, scripting etc).
