This video is a quick introduction to APIs and Postman in just 25 minutes. I will briefly explain what an API is and how you can call (aka consume) an API with Postman.
You will learn about the HTTP request methods (also known as HTTP verbs) like GET, POST, DELETE and how to send a JSON request body.

Thank you, is very helpful. I'm doing the udemy course also. I haven't managed to get my head around the swagger docs for api's, hoping you could help please. Do these docs essentially detail all the endpoints of the api has, and are used as a reference point for using postman? Who creates these docs and do testers request it from the devs?

@vdespa 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for taking the course! The swagger documentation (aka swagger UI) is auto generated based on the code and get's updated automatically. As you said, it is just a documentation of the API (endpoints, request method, body format, ...). Swagger has recently become a specification (OpenAPI) in a JSON or YAML format. You can import that in Postman and generate a collection.

@Valentin Despa: Quick question: while deleting the record, we did not give any Authorization? May I know why? Or can i say that Delete method did not need any Authorization (in this case, API with delete method can run without Authorization) I would appreciate your response.

@vdespa 2 жыл бұрын

Good observation, Aman. This API does not require authorization for this endpoint, but it probably should, just to keep things consistent. Thanks for your remark.

Is it possible to cover a 'Negative' API test scenario in POSTMAN? I'm verifying that Error: 400 is expected and 1/2 of my test is passing and another is failing with "Failed | AssertionError: expected false to be truthty" is there any way to avoid this assertion error?

@vdespa 4 жыл бұрын

Hi, of course, Postman can also check for any errors that you can generate. Why does it bother you that one assertion is failing while the other one is successful?

Hi Valentine, This is a good video for the starters indeed with good example. Am currently working on postman from more than a year, I have a question may be good idea to ask here and help me n community if possible. The question is, I have a collection that runs end to end in different environment in CLI using npm (Fully automated using pre requisite scrips to generate random data for each field). Now I want to dockerise it so that I can ship into Jenkins pipe line and run it in schedule. Would be great if you can make a video on this. Thanks again

@vdespa 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your comment. Just to clarify, you want in Jenkins to directly run a Docker image containing Newman and the Postman collection?

@sharmak2746 4 жыл бұрын

@@vdespa Yes. That's perfectly right. Suggest me if there is any other way too as we have one of the applications in cloud n the corresponding collections is automated but running in my local. This eventually needs to go to Jenkins pipe line and should trigger as soon as there a deployment. Am identifying ways to do it. However no clue. Hopefully will get some solution soon. Am new to docker. Would be good if you can help out ways of doing. May a good idea to share a video on how to dockerise postman collections with Newman n running in pipeline

1.In the first request I am generating token using basic Auth 2. In the next request, using the generated token ,I am sending a request payload where I want to set like if the username, password combination (in the first request) is suppose a and b, then I want my tradingAgent field to be suppose B, else C or other combinations How can I achieve this, I am new to postman and javascripting. My second request looks like this "sequence": "5533", "tradingAgent": "{{tradingAgent}}", I understand in the pre-requisite script I have to write..but the below doesnt work..enter image description here var username = pm.environment.get("username"); if (username = ("a")) (password = ("b")) pm.environment.set("tradingAgent","B"); else pm.environment.set("tradingAgent","C")
