Our team has been evaluating different CLI tools for testing AI APIs, especially while working with Hugging Face models and Inference Endpoints.
Bruno CLI is lightweight and easy to use, but we’re also looking for tools that fit larger development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
Some of the features we’re looking for are:
So far we’ve compared Bruno CLI with a few other tools, including HTTPie
, Hurl
, Newman
, and Apidog CLI.
One thing I’ve liked about Apidog CLI is that I can run the same API test scenarios while developing locally and then reuse them in CI without maintaining separate workflows. It’s been particularly useful when validating changes to AI APIs before deployment.
For those building applications around Hugging Face models: I’d be interested to hear what other teams are using.
