Postman

RESTful APIs (or simply REST API) are everywhere nowadays but at the same time they are getting more complex to get started with: different HTTP methods,, headers, cookies, dealing with file uploads or authentication with api keys, tokens, OAuth and so much more.

But before you start investing time writing code to retrieve the data the API is offering, why not test the request first to make sure everything is working as expected?

This is where the Postman App comes in. Postman allows you very quickly create a request with the required HTTP method and parameters, submit the request and easily inspect the results.

Postman can help if you are developing APIs as well. I have created this course for testing engineers and well as for software developers. Postman can help you during the development of your API as well as after the API is completed, by running tests that make sure your API is still working as intended.

In the first part of the course we will start exploring the features of Postman and continue by writing API tests with the intention of integrating them in a CI server where the tests will run on a current basis.

But this is not the normal course you take part in. Because your needs may be different and because I hate leaving you wondering what to do next, the second part of the course will include user questions and answers to problems that were not yet covered in the course or that are more specific and may not interest everybody.

So let’s look at what you are going to learn:

  • Start with simple requests and advance towards more complex scenarios

  • Learn to deal with authentication / authorization mechanisms like Basic Auth, API Keys, or OAuth.

  • Start writing API tests

  • Organize tests in collections and share them with your team

  • Run API tests in Jenkins or any other CI server

  • You ask, I answer

So after this course you will know how to use Postman as a pro.

so far it

So far it looks good, it would be more nice if you show how to install and how to trouble shoot installation issue as I cant install it on my desktop pc.

Would be nice to have more practical questions So far it is very informative.

So far it's a little too simple, but I guess it needs to begin simple to be a complete guide.

Of course there is still to learn a lot but Valentin is always there to help ;) I am a First time user of Postman and this introduction helped me a lot in understand the basic concepts So far it's been great!

rest api

I have to learn sum thing We are starting to use a REST API at work and I have been working on mainframe, so I have taken some postman videos on youtube, but want a more comprehensive course where I may be able to ask questions if necessary.

I would like to fully automate the REST API testing.

Because of your simple explanation on each topic, REST API testing using Postman seems to be easier to me.

Valentin does an excellent job explaining all the ins and outs of making requests, writing tests and using variables to make the process of using a REST API so much easier.

I learned a lot that I can use in daily work - testing a rest api.

Great course for beginners getting used to creating REST APIs.

real world

Autor zachęca do eksperymentów z postmanem i interesująco przedstawia funkcje It would be more useful if you can show real time examples Instructor explanations are easy to understand, he goes at a good pace that is not too slow or too fast and he uses real world APIs so it will be applicable to my work later.

So far presented in a very easy to understand manner and the real world examples are relevant and help me to understand and relate to what can be applied at my company.

It's very understandable, great references and real world, in-depth coverage.

Use more of real world examples Clear, concise and useful.

go through

I've just started the course but feel pretty encouraged to go through it with ease and interest.

In some cases, like headers, you go through the headers but you don't really say what they are used for.

I've yet to go through all of the videos but the explanations are very hands on, clear and precise.

Can't wait to go through the entire course.
