Overview
Postman builds software for developers and engineering teams to design, test, document and monitor APIs, the interfaces through which applications exchange data. Its desktop and web tools send requests to services, inspect responses and save related requests as collections that teammates reuse. Shared workspaces keep those collections, tests and technical specifications together so organizations coordinate API development across projects, while monitors check services on a schedule. The company sells subscriptions for individuals, teams and large enterprises, alongside a free plan for basic work. Founded in 2014, Postman is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
