## What it is
Postman is a widely used API platform for building, testing, designing, and collaborating on APIs, offered as a desktop app and web service. This repository is the public issue tracker for the Postman app, used for bug reports and feature requests rather than source code.

## Use cases
- send http requests and test rest apis
- organize api requests into collections
- design api specifications and generate documentation
- run automated api test suites in ci/cd
- mock api servers before backend is ready
- report bugs or request features for the postman app

## When to choose
- you need a gui api client for exploring and testing http apis
- your team wants shared workspaces for api development and collaboration
- you want integrated api design, testing, mocking, and documentation in one tool
- you need to file or track Postman app bugs and feature requests

## When to avoid
- you need fully open-source software - Postman's core app is proprietary with no license in this repo
- you want a lightweight scriptable http client without accounts or cloud features
- you prefer code-first api testing in your own test framework (e.g. pytest, jest)
- you need offline-only tooling without sign-in requirements
