Course Description

RESTful APIs are everywhere nowadays but at the same time they are getting more complex to get started with: different HTTP methods,headers, cookies, dealing with file uploads or authentication with api keys, tokens, OAuth and so much more.

But before you start investing time writing code to retrieve the data the API is offering, why not test the request first to make sure everything is working as expected?

This is where thePostman Appcomes in! Postman allows you very quickly create a request with the required HTTP method and parameters, submit the request and easily inspect the results.

Postman can help if you are developing APIs as well! I have created this course for testing engineers and well as for software developers. Postman can help you during the development of your API as well as after the API is completed, by running tests that make sure your API is still working as intended.

In this Postman crashcourse for beginners, we will start exploring the features of Postman, creating request and building simple workflows.
Then we will continue by writing API tests and automatically running a Postman collection by using the Postman Collection Runner.

So lets look at what you are going to learn:

Start with simple requests and advance towards more complex scenariosLearn to deal with authentication (example using Bearer token)Start writing API testsOrganize tests in collections and share them with your teamRun API tests using the collection runner

So after this course you will have an overview of Postman and can later decide in which areas you want to learn more.

Entendo que o curso eh para iniciantes, mas pelo preo de 24 reais eu esperava mais contedo. O contedo foi muito bsico e eu acabei conseguindo um curso muito melhor gratuito no youtube.
Dito isso , o contedo foi bem explicado e os vdeos so de boa qualidade. Eu so nao achei que valeu o custo x benefcio

I needed a very quick beginner intro to Postman (that wasn't 8 hours long) with plans to go further with Postman and API testing next. Thanks for creating as short tutorial, this is super helpful and I plan to continue all the exercises.

It was very good, very well explained, it is a good start, I already bought the next course to improve this part of API testing

By Ian Oates on 11/8/2020

It was a very interesting course, providing a very good overview and leaving wanting to learn more. I think expanding Section 5: Automation would be useful and removing Section 6: Postman News & Updates because it is out of date and doesn't bear any relevance to the course content.

By Sandeep Shiralkar on 11/8/2020

Yes, I had the intention of going over the basics of postman and how to begin with working on postman while migrating from soapui/readyapi,the course material by Valentin made it sure that it is not making it overly complicated and covering some basics steps to get familiarized with postman for beginners, now I am excited to move towards the advanced courses of postman and do some real request migration from readyapi to postman. I would however, like to know if postman supports all forms of security testing concepts.

It is a great course for beginner to easily pick up the basics of api testing using postman. Do update the course with more videos please
