Self-hosted, collaborative API development environment with multi-user support
Open-source Postman alternative designed for self-hosting. Securely store and share API collections across teams with built-in authentication, persistence, and browser-based CORS proxy support.
Yaade is a collaborative API development environment built specifically for teams that need full control over their API testing data. Unlike cloud-based alternatives, Yaade runs entirely on your infrastructure, ensuring sensitive API credentials and request data never leave your server.
The platform supports multi-user workflows with granular permission management, making it easy to share collections across development teams. Persistent storage survives container restarts, while single-file import/export enables seamless backup and migration. Yaade handles both REST and WebSocket protocols, with integrated Markdown documentation for each endpoint.
Proxy requests through your browser extension or directly through the server. Run JavaScript-based scripts as cron jobs or via API for automated testing and request execution. Import existing collections from OpenAPI or Postman formats, and export requests to multiple languages and frameworks. The Docker-based deployment takes minutes to configure, with an H2 file-based database requiring zero external dependencies.
When teams consider Yaade, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Secure Internal API Testing
Development teams store production API keys and test sensitive endpoints without exposing credentials to third-party cloud services
Cross-Team API Documentation
Backend and frontend teams share living API collections with Markdown documentation, ensuring everyone works from the same contract
Automated Integration Testing
QA engineers schedule JavaScript-based test scripts as cron jobs to continuously validate API behavior and catch regressions
Migration from Postman
Organizations import existing Postman collections and transition to self-hosted infrastructure while maintaining familiar workflows
Yaade is built specifically for self-hosting with integrated authentication and persistent storage. Unlike Hoppscotch's self-hosted version, it doesn't require Firebase and includes multi-user management out of the box.
The browser extension is optional but recommended for CORS proxy functionality. You can also proxy requests directly through the server, depending on your use case.
Yaade uses H2, a file-based database that requires no separate installation. All data persists in a Docker volume and survives container restarts.
Yes, Yaade supports importing collections from both Postman and OpenAPI formats. You can also export requests to various programming languages and frameworks.
Stop the running container, pull the latest Docker image, and start a new container using the same volume. Your data persists across upgrades.
