Postman API Integrations
Build and run workflows using the Postman API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The Postman API enables you to automate tasks within your Postman collections, such as running collections, fetching and updating environments, and integrating your API development workflow into your CI/CD pipeline. Using Pipedream, you can harness this functionality to create custom workflows that trigger on various events, process data, and connect with other apps, extending the capabilities of your API testing and development processes.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
postman: {
type: "app",
app: "postman",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const data = {
"auth_token": `=user:NNNNNN`,
}
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.getpostman.com/me`,
headers: {
"X-Api-Key": `${this.postman.$auth.api_key}`,
},
data,
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Scheduled Collection Runs: Use Pipedream to schedule and run Postman collections at regular intervals. You can analyze the results, send alerts if a test fails, or even trigger other workflows based on those results.
Dynamic Environment Updates: Automatically update Postman environment variables when changes occur in your apps. For instance, sync new user data from a CRM platform to Postman's environment, ensuring your API tests always use the latest data.
CI/CD Integration: Connect your Postman tests with your CI/CD pipeline. After every code commit, use Pipedream to trigger a workflow that runs a specific Postman collection and reports the status back to your CI/CD tool, such as GitHub Actions, ensuring that only tested code gets deployed.
Popular Postman Integrations#
Popular Postman Triggers#
Emit new event when a monitor run is completed. See the documentation
Popular Postman Actions#
Updates a specific environment variable in Postman. See the documentation
Authentication#
Postman uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Postman account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Postman APIs in both code and no-code steps.
To retrieve your API key,
- Navigate to your Postman account and sign in
- Go to your Integration Dashboard
- Click "Generate API Key", and copy and paste it below.
