Tests allow you to ensure that your API is working as expected, to establish that integrations between services are functioning reliably, and to verify that new developments haven’t broken any existing functionality. Tests: Tests are the scripts executed during the request. This is perfect for use-cases like including the timestamp in the request headers or sending a random alphanumeric string in the URL parameters.ġ8. Pre-request Script: Pre-request scripts are written in JavaScript, and are run before the request is sent. You can send various different types of body data to suit your API.ġ7. Body: It allows you to specify the data you need to send with a request. Headers: Some APIs require you to send particular headers such as JSON, JavaScript etc., along with requests, typically to provide additional metadata about the operation you are performing. We mention authorization details like username, password, bearer token etc., here.ġ5. Authorization: APIs use authorization to ensure that client requests access data securely. Params: We mention the parameters (key values) needed for a request.ġ4.

Collections: It is to organize and keep track of related requests.ĩ. History: Automatic saving of requests and responses in history which helps you track your past actions easily.Ĩ.

Invite: It is to invite your team members to collaborate on a workspace.ħ. It allows real-time collaboration within and between teams.Ħ. A workspace is a shared context for building and consuming APIs. You can create a new workspace using this. Open New: We can open Postman Window or Runner Windowĥ. Runner: We can execute automation tests using Collection Runner.Ĥ. You can also find other options such as import from file, folder, link, or paste raw test.ģ. Import: It is to import a collection or environment. New: It is to create a new request, collection, or environment.Ģ.
