Api Testing
by postmanlabs67cff8f385d8No licenseListed Oct 8, 2026Updated Oct 8, 2026
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.
Only the file list is public. File contents are available once the skill is installed in a workspace.
