Important Aspects in Postman

The following are few of the important aspects that must be known to you while using Postman:

• Collection: A collection is a group of API requests.

• Variables: Variables in Postman are key-value pairs. Each variable name represents its key, so referencing the variable name allows you to access its value. For example, if you have a base URL for requests stored in a variable named base_url, you can reference it in your requests using {{base_url}}.

• Environment: An Environment is a group of variables that we can use in a Postman request. By creating Environments for production, testing, staging, and so on.

• Params: Request params are used to send additional information to the server.

• Headers: Headers in an HTTP request or response are the additional information transferred to the user or the server. In postman, the headers can be seen in the Headers tab.
