You can set a proxy server here to capture all the API requests that you send through your browser. This interceptor is inbuilt in the native app. Recall we learned that if you are installing the application from chrome then a separate interceptor is required for the proxy server. Importing a collection is the most common among all. As can be seen from the image it allows you to import a Postman Collection, Environment, Curl command, etc. Importing means choosing the files located in your system or through a link and running it through Postman.
Import option lets you import files of different formats. A new option lets you create the following: Selecting " request" in New will open the request panel where you can enter and save the requests into the collection of your choice. For example, a collection would open the panel where you can enter a new collection to start and its corresponding requests. The below image shows just the Header of the Postman application.Ĭhoosing this option will let you choose what "new" you want to start. Similarly in Postman, we save the similar kind of requests under some collection name ( that we define) and when we open any collection we get all the Requests under that heading, As shown in the below image You create a folder, for example, movies, and keep movies in it so that you know where all your movies are. A collection in Postman can be imagined similar to a folder in your system. The concept of grouping requests is called Collections and each Collection is displayed under the Collection Tab. As soon as you invoke a REST request, it is saved in the history and can be seen below the History Tab. It comes in handy when you have to search for some particular request that you entered in the past without entering again. Postman records a history of your API request just like any other web browser automatically. The sidebar has two main parts or tabs which are History and Collections. The sidebar is a very important part of the Postman. Now let us see individual sections in detail. We will learn more about it in the coming chapters. This section will be populated with the details of the received Response. Response section: It is filled only when invoking a REST request.We will learn about these items in detail in the coming chapters
Postman navigation can be divided into four UI structures as shown below.
