I run into that too. Someone sends me a Postman, and I sit there fiddling with the UI five or ten times instead of just putting it into a loop in a real program. then realize how much time i spent fiddling and pull it into a program, then spend some copying the auth or whatever over, then realize i should've been doing real work.

People like Postman because it's easy to share credentials and config, and easy(ish) to give to less technical people, but the cliff for pulling that stuff into code is often annoying.

"Postman but actually it's a jupyter-style notebook with your credentials" would be cool, although I don't know exactly what that would look like.
