Learn to use Postman to make simple API calls and retrieve data from responses. Set up environments and folders, work across devices, and explore basic to modern testing workflows.
Start using Postman by creating an environment in your workspace and a simple get request in a new collection, then organize with folders and a named test request.
Explore how to set up Postman environments and variables, use host values with curly braces, and send get, post, and put requests to a dotnet api with guided route testing.
Explore sending data via query strings and in the body using Postman, including query parameters, form data, and json payloads, and learn to test and inspect API responses.
Learn how to send and retrieve cookies and headers in Postman, create and manage test cookies and headers, and inspect response cookies and headers across requests.
Export your collection by selecting export and the version, then save a portable json file. Import the same collection on another computer to demonstrate the process.
Import a Postman collection to another computer under the same account using file, folder, link, or raw text, and note that environment variables stay the same.
Explore how to create and manage examples in Postman to describe requests and responses, a mockup database, and collaboration workflows for API design and front-end development.
Learn to create mock APIs in Postman, set up mock servers and collections, protect requests with an api key header, and run collections to simulate responses for frontend development.
Publish your API documentation with Postman to create a public, browsable site from your collection. Preview in the browser, configure environments, and organize requests, folders, and examples for easy discovery.
Learn to run and automate tests in Postman by using test scripts and snippets to verify response time and status codes for API requests.
Discover additional testing options in Postman, including body data validation with body matches and JSON responses, and use response body snippets to run checks.
Review how to post API requests using the bowsman tool and explore related API development courses, then submit assignments on the Configure Solution Learning platform for anonymous feedback.
Postman is a powerful tool designed to streamline API development and testing. It enables you to send requests, retrieve responses, and manage configurations effortlessly. Since everything is tied to your account, your data is accessible anywhere you log in. Postman is not only invaluable for testing APIs during development but also offers features like mock APIs, which are particularly helpful for front end developers working without a fully functional back-end. Additionally, Postman allows you to publish and modify API documentation dynamically based on your saved requests and responses.
This course is concise, beginner friendly, and perfect for those seeking a quick start with Postman. You’ll begin by learning how to set up basic requests and include essential data such as form data, JSON bodies, parameters, headers, and more. Next, you’ll explore how to manually import and export data within Postman. Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals, the course delves into advanced features like publishing API documentation directly from your request data, utilizing mock APIs to facilitate front-end development, and adding tests in Postman to validate responses based on specific parameters.
Whether you're a developer or tester, this course equips you with practical skills to enhance your API workflows efficiently and effectively!
