About:
The Postman Agent is a lightweight desktop application that enables local network requests to be sent through the Postman web interface. It bridges the gap between cloud-based API testing and local resources, allowing developers to test APIs hosted on localhost or behind firewalls without exposing them to the internet. This enhances security and simplifies the workflow for testing local development environments.
|
Key Features:
- Secure local network tunneling
- Seamless integration with Postman Web
- Lightweight background operation
- No public endpoint exposure required
|
Use Cases:
- Testing local API endpoints from the Postman web dashboard
- Debugging webhooks on a development machine
- Collaborating on API designs that access local databases
|
Alternatives:
-
ngrok
– ngrok creates public URLs for local services, while Postman Agent is purpose-built for the Postman ecosystem and requires no public exposure.
-
Postman Desktop App
– The native desktop app provides full offline capabilities, whereas the Agent enables web-based testing with local resources.
