Postman

Postman is a tool that allows you to test your APIs – send requests, retrieve responses and a lot more. It lets you save the configurations and everything is based on your account – therefore available anywhere you log in. It is a great tool for testing your APIs as you develop them, but also – with their mock API feature it can be very helpful when developing front–ends. And, it is a fully featured tool – so you will also be able to publish and modify your API documentation based on your request data and responses that you save.

The course is basic, straightforward and relatively short, so if you need a quick start – this is perfect for you. You will first learn how to setup basic requests and add the required data to them – form data, JSON body, parameters, headers and more… Then you will see how you can manually import and export data to Postman. Once you have these basics, you will learn about some more advanced features – publishing the documentation based on your requests and saved responses, using a mock API for when you need to develop your front–end and adding tests in Postman to verify the response for your parameters.
