Postman

Overview

The Postman API manages collections, environments, and runs — key-based (an invalid key returns 401, verified).

Quick Start

Collections (replace YOUR_KEY):

curl "https://api.getpostman.com/collections" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_KEY"

{ "collections": [ { "id": "abc-123", "name": "My Collection" } ] }

Authentication

• Generate an API key in Postman (settings).
• Send it as the X-Api-Key header (invalid → 401, verified).

Rate Limits & Notes

• Free tier with limits (check the docs); paid plans scale.
• Manage collections, environments, mocks, and monitors.
