Using POSTMAN for API Testing – Endpoints, Auth

In this post we gonna checkout how easily we can use the POSTMAN APP. This app is used for testing our APIs. The steps are very easy and comfortable to perform.

  • Choose the type of request, (GET / POST …etc)

Here I’m selecting GET request. Then I’m entering the API url

  • Next we can add the parameters for the request

Here I’m adding three parameters for pulling some specific information. For that, we are using the KEY —> VALUE pairs.

I have added three keys here: q, appid , units

After adding the Key-Value pairs then it gets appended to the URL. You can see it in the below image. The URL is accompanied by the request parameters.

  • Next we can click the Send Button to initiate the request.
  • Then we will be receiving the response from the API,
  • Below the image, you can see it as the response body. It is a pretty cleaned API response.
