This beginner lecture introduces Postman as an API development and testing tool, and guides you through downloading and installing the desktop application on Windows.
Explore the Postman user interface, including the header, sidebar, tabs, and core building blocks like requests, collections, environments, and variables, plus features such as import, runner, history, and mock server.
Learn to create your first api request in Postman by sending a get to the users endpoint, compare browser results with Postman, and view raw versus preview responses.
Master the basics of Postman collections by learning what a collection is, how to organize requests into folders, and multiple ways to create and save requests.
Learn how to use the Postman collection runner to run a collection, configure environments, set iterations and interval, save responses, view run results, and export results.
Explore the postman environment: a set of variables used in requests, with local and global variables; then create and manage environments with variables.
Learn how to export specific Postman requests by saving them into a collection and exporting the collection as a JSON file to share with others.
Run multiple requests in Postman by using the collection runner, set iterations (e.g., five) and environment, then monitor concurrent executions for batch testing.
Learn to chain requests in Postman by extracting data from a response, saving it as an environment variable, and reusing that value in a subsequent request.
Create a mock server in postwoman to clone API responses, save request and response examples, and test data locally by using a collection and mock endpoints.
Learn how to query parameters in Postman by adding key-value pairs in a url or through the parameters panel, then send requests and view responses.
Explore how to debug an API with Postman by using the Postman console log to view requests, headers, and responses and to run simple JavaScript tests.
Learn how to perform basic authentication with a token in Postman to create a GitHub repository, including generating a token and testing authorization.
Create a request and save it to a Postman collection, run the collection from the command line with Newman, and integrate Postman with Jenkins for automated testing.
Master postman test scripts, including pre-request and post-request scripts, using JavaScript and an assertion library to improve readability and collaboration in api testing.
Learn how to generate code snippets in Postman, using pre request and test scripts, and apply environment variables to print and log request results.
