What is Postman?
Postman is a collaborative API development platform used by over 35 million developers and 500,000 companies worldwide, including 98% of the Fortune 500. It provides a single platform for teams to speed up API development by enabling them to prototype, document, test, and demo all their APIs – internal, public, or partner – in one centralized location.
Postman enhances team collaboration, streamlines workflows, and improves API quality. It's designed to be open and extensible, facilitating seamless integration with your team's favorite tools and reducing duplication of efforts.
