[NFBCS] Accessible API Tester like Postman

[Timothy Breitenfeldt]

Hi Chris, I appreciate the suggestion. I actually just tried Insomnia,
and found it to be mostly accessible, but I was struggling adding
arguments to my request. Everything else seemed to work well enough. I
tried using jaws and NVDA, but once I click on the query tab, and the
name and value edit boxes pop up, I can't add aditional arguments.
Under the initial name and value edit boxes it gives me is a couple of
unlabeled buttons , when  I click the first one it seems like it adds
new boxes for more arguments, but when I tab or arrow down, I am not
sure if my cursor starts jumping or if boxes are unlabeled because it
starts talking about some filter. When I navigate by e though, it
looks like there are new boxes, when I press enter though I have the
same problem as tabbing and arrowing to the boxes.

Are you having this problem?

This is very frustrating to not have a decent API tester, I am about
ready to just create my own tool.

Thanks,

TJ Breitenfeldt
