History of Postman
Just like every origin story, the origin, purpose, development till date has many theories but web based APIs tend to be more recent and the example can be Google Maps, something we use pretty often. Postman API was created by Abhinav Asthana, Ankit Sobti and Abhijit Kane in Bangalore, India (2012). Firstly, it was developed as a plugin for Google Chrome, then a rich client, and finally a thin client and now, Postman Inc., originally from India, has its headquarters in San Francisco.
Syntax:
<Request method> <Request url>
How to test an API using Postman ?
API testing is a software testing type that tends to validate the application programming interfaces. As per Postman API, API testing is confirming that an API is working as expected. It sends requests to an API and monitors the responses to check its behavior to assess the functionality, reliability, performance, and security of an API. It is usually considered to be a crucial part of the API development lifecycle.
