install

This article is just an installation based on the Chrome browser extension, not a separate application.First of all, you need a computer, and secondly, you need to have the Chrome browser installed, so you can read on.

1. Official website installation (don't look)

• Open the official website, https://www.getpostman.com

• Click the gray "Chrome App (Free)" button.Normally it would jump to the Chrome Web Store interface, but, since, well, you get the idea!What you usually see is the second picture, full of sadness...

Please wipe away your tears first, don't be sad, we can still be fine.

2. Unofficial installation

This is a way to do what I think is "illegal installation" by packaging the already installed extensions directly, but there is no way, only this.

• I will give you an installation package, see attachment.You should download it and unzip it to your preferred location.

• Open Chrome Extensions

  

• Click the "Load unpacked extension..." button, find the location of the installation package you just downloaded, and click OK.

  

  p>

• You go to the Windows start menu, you will suddenly find a folder called "Chrome Apps", you can click Postman in it and try it.

  

Okay, Postman installed via "illegal installation" has been completed here.

Getting Started

Postman is a very powerful tool for API debugging and Http request. When you are still going to write a form with a notepad, you will be shocked when you try Postman.So much nonsense!

This is the first interface you see after opening.

No need to introduce too much. If you are engaged in development, you can see it at a glance. I will just briefly introduce a few button operations you may use.

Focus on the buttons I marked, from top to bottom, left to right: Import, New Folder, Save Request, Download.

• Import: Used to import API request files saved by you or your team, in json format.
• New folder: Used to categorize API requests for easy management.
• Save Request: Save your API request, and the return value can also be stored.
• Download: Download your tested API requests, share with the team, and import.json format, which can be edited manually.

In fact, Postman has teamwork and can share request parameters and data, but it needs to be registered and placed on their server. For companies, there will be security considerations. Most people are lazy and willgive up this way.Or QQ to send files to the convenience.:)

Advanced Features

It allows users to send any type of HTTP request, such as GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, etc., and can allow arbitrary parameters and headers.
She supports different authentication mechanisms including Basic Auth, Digest Auth, OAuth 1.0, OAuth 2.0, etc.

Thanks to everyone who read my article carefully. Watching the rise and attention of fans all the way, there is always a need for gifts. Although it is not a very valuable thing, if you can use it, you can take it for free:

①More than 2000 software testing e-books (mainstream and classic books should be available)

② Software testing/automation testing standard library information (the most complete Chinese version)

③ Project source code (forty or fifty interesting and classic training projects and source code)

④ Python programming language, API interface automated testing, web automated testing, App automated testing (suitable for beginners to learn)

⑤ Python learning roadmap (say goodbye to inexperienced learning)

The information in the picture above is in my QQ technical exchange group (technical exchange and resource sharing, advertisements come in and interrupt you)

You can take it away by yourself, group number 953306497 (remarkThe free materials in the "csdn111") group are the essence of the author's more than ten years of testing career.There are also peer gods to exchange technology together.
