Desktop API testing clients

This cluster consists of desktop applications for API testing and debugging, focusing on sending HTTP requests, managing collections and environments, and importing Postman collections. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only one dated entry exists before the index start, so the cluster predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders are x-apimanage (1 star), followed by pigeon and Poppy (0 stars each).
