Nice project! Looks really useful. I have had issues with using Postman before - it's too focussed on testing, and actually doing something with the responses you get back from your APIs is not properly supported, so we can't regress on what our APIs are actually doing.

I do quite a bit of web scraping for projects - I'd like ot be able ot use tihs right now, but one critical feature (hence why I need to script this project) that appears to be missing is cookie support. The API I am querying will refuse to speak to me unless I soak up a couple of cookies for mthe start page. It also looks like there aren't methods that allow me to do string manipulation - so that I also can't extract the cookie for mthe headers returned and then set this manually.

Unless I'm missing somehting, but if it's not possible, thought I'd suggest it. Nice job anyway!
