Overview

In this 8-hour, in-person workshop, learn how workspaces and collections can accelerate API development. Complete fundamental API tasks, including discovering, consuming, documenting, testing and monitoring APIs in Postman.

Prerequisites

  • Basic understanding of HTTP
  • Basic understanding of REST APIs

Audience

This workshop is ideal for anyone who works in Postman as part of a team.

Learning objectives

After completing this workshop, learners will be able to:

  • Discover and consume public APIs
  • Utilize different workspace types effectively
  • Work on collections and other API resources collaboratively by forking and merging
  • Work with variables and environments
  • Use and create reference documentation
  • Use code snippets to create functional tests
  • Automate your functional testing with the Collection Runner
  • Create a complex workflow using Postman Flows

Format

The workshop consists of several modules, each with two parts: theoretical and hands-on. During the theoretical segment, the instructor introduces a simplified business requirement and then uses the Postman platform's basic and enterprise capabilities to achieve the desired business outcome.

Collaboratively discovering and evaluating APIs
In this module, you'll learn how to set up workspaces, invite teammates and collaborate together to discover and evaluate APIs. Building upon this foundation, you'll see how to use variables, including scopes, types, and initial vs. current values.

Documentation: The key to painless API adoption
Proper documentation is the cornerstone of ensuring swift and easy adoption of your API. You can also use documentation to identify available endpoints and how to successfully interact with them. In this module, you'll learn how to accomplish all of this, as well as forking and merging collections and environments for more effective collaboration in Postman.

Simplifying your API testing with Postman
Testing at it's most basic level is an opportunity to verify that your APIs work as expected. In this module, you'll learn to use test snippets, write your own tests and use the collection runner to accomplish that very goal.

Simulating realistic API behavior with mock servers
Mocking an API enables you to simulate real behavior without actually calling or having a real API. You can easily test your various requests, and their responses, to save your team time and reduce setbacks down the line. In this module, you’ll create a mock server with a request and realistic example responses that simulate the API’s functionality.

Postbot and Postman Flows
Learn how Postbot can unlock automation by visualizing responses, adding tests to requests and generating documentation in a flash. Use Postman Flows to chain multiple API requests together and easily build real-time integrations between two API-enabled products, all within a low-code interface.
