Postman makes API development easy. Our platform offers the tools to simplify each step of the API building process and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs faster.
About Postman
Postman is an API platform for designing, building, testing, and managing APIs and services. It includes an API client for sending requests, a collection runner for automating API workflows, mock servers for simulating API behavior, and monitors for validating performance. The platform also supports webhooks and provides a spec hub for managing API specifications and collaborative workspaces for teams.
The platform includes API cataloging and endpoint tracking (Insights) for managing and operating APIs at scale, along with an SDK generator, a command-line interface (Postman CLI), and a visual workflow builder (Flows). It also offers AI-related features, including an AI Engineer for building, testing, and maintaining APIs, and an MCP server for providing API context to AI agents.
Postman is aimed at engineers building and managing APIs, as well as enterprises requiring API governance, partner API management, and software development lifecycle automation across teams and organizations.
