PostKid is a lightweight networking tool designed as an IntelliJ IDEA extension.
Inspired by Postman, PostKid provides a simple and efficient way to perform networking tasks directly inside the IntelliJ environment — without the need to install external applications like Postman for basic lightweight networking.
You can download the plugin from the link below:
- Lightweight and fast networking inside IntelliJ IDEA.
- No need to switch between your IDE and Postman for simple HTTP requests.
- Built using the powerful
OkHttpClientlibrary. - Supports basic networking operations like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.
- Minimalist and easy-to-use interface.
While Postman is a fantastic tool, it can often feel too heavy for quick, lightweight networking tasks.
PostKid offers an integrated alternative that saves time and system resources by allowing developers to stay within their IntelliJ workflow for basic API testing.
- Kotlin (or Java) for extension development.
