Hugging Face developers explore Apidog CLI as a Postman alternative

A Hugging Face community member is evaluating Apidog CLI as a command-line alternative to GUI-based API clients like Postman for testing Hugging Face models and Inference Endpoints. The proposed workflow involves centralizing API definitions, executing tests via the terminal, and validating changes before deployment.

• The author highlights Apidog CLI for its ability to run API test scenarios directly from the command line.
• This approach facilitates integration into automation scripts and CI/CD pipelines.
• The method helps catch authentication, schema, or response issues prior to production.
• A CLI-first strategy allows developers and QA engineers to share validation workflows without desktop dependencies.
