Postman Announces Launch of Its API Network

Postman, the only complete API Development Environment, or ADE, announced the launch of the Postman API Network, the most authentic and actionable listing available of public APIs and how to work with them.

Postman has gathered these descriptions directly from API publishers to provide developers with the most effective way to find and use the best and most important public APIs available. The Postman API Network helps developers quickly onboard to an API, using Postman.

The API directory includes many of the most useful and important public APIs. Each API listing is an in-depth Postman collection created by the API publisher themselves. Postman collections are detailed, executable descriptions of the API — including all the necessary requests, documentation, mocks, and tests that work with that API. Developers can download these collections directly from the API Network into their free instance of Postman and start working with them immediately.

The network is accessible through the Postman website or from within the free Postman app. If accessed from within Postman, a single click is all that’s needed to get started; the collection will download directly to the developer’s instance of Postman. In addition, there are community-created examples available within the Postman app — complete Postman collections that help the developer  perform common API tasks, ranging from checking website links to verifying user identities. These examples are both broad and useful Postman use cases, as well as showcases for all the unique and innovative ways the community has made Postman work for them.
