Postman
Postman is the widely used API platform for designing, testing, documenting, and monitoring APIs, built around collections of saved requests that can be organized into workspaces, run via a CLI/CI runner (Newman), and shared with a team. Beyond the desktop/web client, Postman exposes its own REST API (api.getpostman.com) for programmatically managing collections, environments, and workspaces, authenticated with an X-Api-Key header. The free plan covers individual use with generous request/collection limits; paid Basic, Professional, and Enterprise tiers add larger teams, more API calls, and governance features.
GreatAPIs Score
Auth quickstart
- Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
- Send it on every request as a header
Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
