The Mac app overcomes this issue.īy now existing Postman users are probably itching to use the Mac app and you want to know how to port your data over. That’s because OSX considers them to be the same thing. For instance, with the Chrome app, users have difficulty switching windows between the app and Chrome web pages. Just imagine the speed with which you will fly through debugging APIs, discovering mobile APIs, and more.Īdditionally, there have been major UX enhancements.

You have your entire workflow in one window. With the Postman Mac app, all of that goes away.

In other products, developers have to switch between proxy tools, terminal and browsers to capture all requests. This makes documenting APIs running on mobile possible. You can now manage cookies directly in the app.

Before, you had to install the interceptor chrome extension to manage cookies and capture requests in the desktop browser. Yes, happy holidays to you too 🙂Īlong with the testing suite, the Mac app packages all add-on functionality to provide a seamless experience for the developer. Starting today, we are offering the complete Jetpacks upgrade for free in both the Mac and Chrome apps. Coupled with Newman for continuous integrations, Postman gives you the best of the both worlds: a GUI based testing environment and a command line runner for test integration. It gives Postman users pre-request scripts, test scripts, and collection runner and replaces existing technologies like JUnit. Until now, the testing suite has been available as part of the Jetpacks upgrade and is used by hundreds of companies including eBay, Microsoft, and Oracle. Postman’s testing toolchain is capable of replacing any existing testing system that you have. Now we look to manage your entire API workflow with a Mac app and a full blown testing suite that includes seamless request capturing and cookie handling. Postman started as a legacy chrome extension to provide an easy way for developers to test API endpoints. Starting today, you can use Postman as a Mac app with a state of the art testing suite.
