Learn more about publishing an API version. Publishing a version creates a static representation of your API that consumers can view on the Private API Network. When you're ready to share the latest changes to your API with consumers, you can publish a version. Learn more about managing changes using Git. Now any new requests you make to your API is saved in that collection. It has a beautiful native macOS interface to compose requests, inspect server responses, generate client code and export API definitions. At any time you can push your changes to the repository or pull changes into Postman. You can work on multiple branches, and Postman tracks the changes you make to your API definition and associated collections. Learn more about Connecting an API to multiple repositories.Īfter you've connected your API to a remote repository, you can perform common Git actions from within Postman. Select Secret Server environment Click the eye icon to the right and then click Edit. Click on the No environment drop down in the top right hand corner of Postman. You can connect an API to more than one Git repository. You should now see the Secret Server collection on the left hand side Collections pane. (You must be on a Postman Enterprise plan with the API Builder add-on to connect to an on-premises or self-hosted repository.) To connect your API to the on-premises versions of GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab Self-Managed, or Azure DevOps Server, go to Using an on-premises Git repository. To connect your API to the cloud-hosted versions of GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab SaaS, or Azure DevOps, go to Using a cloud-hosted Git repository. Once connected, you can sync your API definition and associated collections in Postman with the remote repository. You can connect your API to a GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, or Azure DevOps repository. In Postman, publish a new version to make the changes available to your API's consumers. Periodically pull from the remote repository to bring changes others have made into Postman, and resolve conflicts if there are any issues. For example, developers can follow a Git workflow by working on feature branches, then creating pull requests to merge them into the default branch. You can also make changes in the Git repository using other tools or editors. Make changes to the API definition and associated collections, then commit and push the changes to the remote repository. Here's a typical workflow for API-first development with a connected repository:Ĭonnect the API to a remote Git repository. Postman Collection SDK: SDK to quickly unlock the power of Postman Collections Format using JavaScript.

Postman Collections Format: Data format that encapsulates Postman API requests. Learn more about using version control for collections. Command-line tool for running and testing a Postman Collection. When you're ready to share your changes with consumers, you can publish a version of your API to the Private API Network.ĪPI version control with Git is different than using version control for collections in Postman. Once your API is connected to a repository, you can switch branches, pull changes from the repository, and push changes to the repository, all from within Postman. The remote repository can be hosted in the cloud or on-premises. You can connect your API to a remote GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, or Azure DevOps repository. Postman enables you to use Git-based version control for developing and managing changes to your API. However I did not manage to find out how to do the same in Postman.GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab Self-Managed, and Azure DevOps Server (hosted on-premises) integrations are available on Postman Enterprise plans with the API Builder add-on. I can do curl in my command line which works fine. I would like to get a list of public gists in Postman.
