Postman Demo

  • Sign up on the Postman API platform. For this session, you will not need to download the Postman app, as we can use Postman in the browser itself

  • Once you've signed up, you will reach the landing page. Click on either the '+' next to the tabs or the 'Send an API request' button to open a new page.

  • A new request tab should now have opened.

  • Try sending a request to https://itc.gymkhana.iitb.ac.in/certificateBackend/backend101 by entering it into the URL input, and hitting Send

  • You should be able to see a response near the bottom of the screen

  • Try adding query params to your request, by mentioning a name and value (the description is optional and not used in the actual call).

  • When making PUT or POST requests, we instead put data in the request Body, which is a different tab.

  • To interface with localhost, you will need to download the Postman Desktop Agent (you can also download the whole app, but for this session we recommend going with the agent)
