Features

Every capability of the desktop app, the command line and the account portal, with what each one does today.

• Workbench: Collections, tabs, a request editor and a response viewer, built for working through an API one request at a time.
• Sending requests: Every Send runs the same pipeline as the collection runner: variables, scripts, auth, the request, tests and redaction.
• Local first: Porticol works with no account and no connection to any Porticol server.
• Auth and transport: Every auth scheme, and transport settings you set on a request, a folder or a collection.
• Protocols: GraphQL, WebSocket, SSE, gRPC, MQTT, SOAP, TCP and UDP requests live in collections beside HTTP ones.
• Tools: Cookies, certificates, code snippets, export, search and settings, around every request.
• Collection runner: Run a collection or a folder with an environment, a data file and as many iterations as you need, and keep the results.
• Mock servers: Start a mock server on your computer from saved examples or an OpenAPI document.
• Automation: Run collections from the command line, from CI and on a schedule, and reach workspaces through a REST API.
• API design: Lint and diff OpenAPI documents, and keep collections in Git.
• Sync: Collections and environments sync between your devices and your team, and an offline edit is never lost.
• Collaboration: Share collections and environments with your team, to view or to edit.
• Shared secrets: Share secret values with your team, encrypted on your devices, so the server holds nothing it can open.
• Account portal: Manage your account, plan and organisation at cloud.porticol.app, with no request workbench in the browser.
• Team server: Run the Porticol server on your own infrastructure, for one organisation.
• Identity: Single sign-on, sign-in policy and custom roles for your organisation.
• Governance: An audit log of every security-relevant and data-changing action, sent to your SIEM, kept as long as you choose.
