Api Mocking
by postmanlabs67cff8f385d8No licenseListed Oct 8, 2026Updated Oct 8, 2026
Stands up a fake backend that behaves like a real API — from a collection or an OpenAPI spec, running locally or pushed to Postman's cloud for a durable URL — plus request-time scenario and status-code overrides for testing failure paths. Use when the user asks to "mock this API," "create a mock server," "fake the backend," "run tests without hitting the real API," or "simulate an error/out-of-stock response." Covers `postman mock`. Depends on bootstrap for the workspace id only once a mock is pushed to the cloud (`-w`, or the workspace linked in `.postman/resources.yaml`) — generating and running a mock locally needs nothing from bootstrap.
Add to a SourceWeft workspace
- Open the skill in your dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Enable it for the chats that should use it.
This skill is instructions only: it ships no scripts to execute.
Add to SourceWeftYou will be asked to sign in first, then taken straight to this skill.
Ask your agent to install it
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent that can run commands — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this skill's install guide, shows you its source, license and scripts, and installs it with the SourceWeft CLI once you agree.
Read https://sourceweft.com/skills/gh-postmanlabs-postman-plugin-api-mocking/install.md and install the skill it describes. Before installing, show me its source, license and whether it ships scripts, and wait for my OK. Ask me before changing anything else on my machine.Install it yourself from a terminal
For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other local agents. The SourceWeft CLI fetches the skill from its source repository at the commit scanned here, and verifies every file against the hashes recorded when the skill was scanned. If anything differs, nothing is written.
npx @sourceweft/cli skills install gh-postmanlabs-postman-plugin-api-mockingAdd --agent claude-code, codex, cursor or universal to choose which agent gets it (Claude Code by default).
Upstream installer — not verified by SourceWeft
The open-source skills installer fetches the same pinned commit, but does not check the files against the hashes SourceWeft recorded.

Api Testing
postmanlabs
Runs tests against an API from the command line — a single ad-hoc request, a full collection of pm.test assertions, or matching real captured app traffic against a collection contract. Use when the user asks to "test this endpoint," "run this collection," "check the API still works," or "verify my app's requests match the contract." Covers `postman request`, `postman collection run`, and `postman application test`. Depends on bootstrap when the target is a cloud collection or workspace-bound environment; a bare URL or local collection needs nothing from bootstrap.
Api Monitoring
postmanlabs
Creates, schedules, and manages Postman Monitors — recurring checks against a live API — triggers ad hoc runs, inspects job/run history to diagnose failures, and hosts self-hosted execution runners for monitors on a private network. Use when the user asks to "set up a monitor," "run this monitor now," "check monitor results," "pause/resume a monitor," or "set up a runner for our internal APIs." Covers `postman monitor` (create, update, delete, list, get, pause, resume, run, jobs, runs) and `postman runner` (start, list, regions).
