Product Updates
Postman Now Supports gRPC
Those who have been following Postman's latest releases will know that we've been branching out from our roots in HTTP, including support for WebSockets, Socket.IO, and GraphQL. But we're not stopping there! We are excited to announce first-class support for gRPC in Postman, currently in open beta.
Announcing GitLab Support in the Postman API Platform
With Postman's new GitLab integration, you can keep your API definition and collections in sync with your repository. The on-prem versions of GitLab are only supported on our Enterprise plan.
Introducing Domain Capture: Group Your Organization's Postman Users into a Single Team
Postman's most anticipated domain capture feature is now here. Consolidate all the user accounts in Postman that have been created with your organization's domains or subdomains into a single Postman team.
Introducing the Super Admin Role: Manage All Your Team's Users and Resources
We've released a powerful new role in Postman—the Super Admin role—for greater control managing all your team's users and resources.
Introducing the Secret Variable Type in Postman
In Postman, variables enable data reusability and foster collaboration when developing and testing API requests. To secure your data even further when collaborating, we've introduced a "secret" variable type that enables the masking of sensitive info.
Improve API Governance with These Shareable OpenAPI Templates
Managing APIs at scale increases the likelihood of design inconsistency. With OpenAPI templates, you can now align API design to promote consistent practice and save time.
Postman Now Supports Importing HAR Files
We're excited to announce that you can now import your HAR files directly into Postman and work with the generated collections to visualize your requests, replay captured sessions, and easily examine responses.
