What Is Postman?

Postman is a powerful tool for testing and developing APIs. It provides an easy-to-use interface to send
HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and view responses — making API testing faster and more
efficient.

You don’t need to write any code to test your endpoints. Just install Postman and you're ready to start
exploring APIs.

Why Use It?

• No need to code to test APIs

• Easy to send, test, and debug requests

• Helpful for frontend, backend, and full-stack developers

• Works with REST, GraphQL, and more

• Saves time while building or consuming APIs
