I’ve been using Sparrow for API testing, and it has truly impressed me with its versatility and ease of use. The tool offers a rich set of features, including API testing, seamless collaboration among teams, and a unique TestFlow feature. One of the standout aspects of Sparrow for me is TestFlow—a feature that allows you to test multiple APIs simultaneously in a flow-like manner. This is extremely helpful for complex testing scenarios where multiple API calls are interconnected. It streamlines the process and saves a lot of time, making it easy to visualize and manage API dependencies.

@joshi_rahul Congrats - Sparrow looks clean! Been looking for something lighter than Postman. Does the

self-hosting option include AI features, or is that cloud only?

Sparrow feels like the API tool we’ve all been waiting for — minimal, powerful, and built with real developer workflows in mind.

Sparrow doesn't eat your memory

Sparrow can run locally without signing in

Sparrow is open source

Sparrow has free AI agent to assist you with tasks

Sparrow comes with very powerful collaboration framework for teams to share APIs

Active sync to always have up to date collection automatically from local swagger, OpenAI specs

MDM and group policy support for enterprise

Test flows

Self hosting either via helm or one click deployment from azure or aws marketplace

This is just tip of the iceberg. It is engineered from the ground. To give best experience, we rethought each and every step of how developers use these tools and improved each aspect of it. 🙂
