It started as a web application that sends requests directly from the browser and now also ships desktop builds and a command-line runner. Supported protocols include REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, Server-Sent Events, Socket.IO and MQTT, with collections, environments, pre-request scripts and tests.\n\nThe hosted edition at hoppscotch.io is free to use, and the whole stack (web app, backend and admin dashboard) can be self-hosted with Docker for teams who want workspaces on their own infrastructure; paid cloud and enterprise plans add team and governance features. Because browser requests are subject to CORS, Hoppscotch provides a proxy and browser extension to reach APIs that do not allow cross-origin calls, which is a recurring point of friction compared with desktop-only clients. Collections are stored in the application's own format with import from Postman, Insomnia and OpenAPI.",15  "capabilities": ["REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, SSE, Socket.IO and MQTT requests", "Collections, environments and scripts", "Browser, desktop and CLI clients", "Self-hostable backend with team workspaces", "Import from Postman, Insomnia and OpenAPI", "Proxy and extension to bypass CORS restrictions"],16  "workflows": ["Test an API from any browser without installing software", "Self-host a team workspace on a private server", "Run collections in CI with the CLI"],17  "advantages": ["Open source with a self-hosted option", "Zero-install browser client", "Wide protocol coverage"],18  "limitations": ["Browser client is constrained by CORS without a proxy or extension", "Team features depend on the backend or paid plans", "Own collection format"],19  "prerequisites": ["A browser, or Docker for self-hosting"],20  "audiences": ["Developers wanting a lightweight API client", "Teams self-hosting their tooling"],21  "alternatives": ["postman", "bruno"],22  "comparison_notes": "Postman is the proprietary, cloud-centric reference with the widest feature set; Bruno is an offline desktop client that stores collections as plain files in Git.
