![]() ![]() ![]() We don’t need to change any of the settings for now so simply click on ‘Connect’. The second is for the proxy and clicking on that will open a popup with proxy settings. The first is a toggle for Interceptor, click on that to connect POSTMAN to Interceptor. Head to POSTMAN and locate the highlighted icon shown below in the top toolbar and click on it There will be no requests yet as we still have to connect POSTMAN to Interceptor. Click on it to turn Interceptor on and you will see a ‘Filter request’ textbox and ‘Last 10 requests’ label appear. With Interceptor installed, click on the traffic light icon to see a popup with a switch set to off. Once installed you should see an icon that looks like the one below in the top right corner of the browser which indicates Interceptor is installed We want to install Interceptor which you can grab from the POSTMAN site or again download directly from Google Store. So there is an extension for POSTMAN to workaround these restrictions which is an app in it’s own right called Interceptor. Install InterceptorĪs I previously mentioned, Chrome has security restrictions in place that limit POSTMAN ability to create requests with custom headers and Cookies (or at least that’s my take on it). Once installed head over to your Apps page and load up POSTMAN. So if you haven’t already got POSTMAN installed, head over to the POSTMAN site or download it directly from the Google Store. If you don’t use Chrome browser there are other tools similar to POSTMAN available (I’m a big fan of BurpSuite, something I may blog on another time). I didn’t find much help on Google or StackOverflow so after a bit of fiddling and complaining I managed to get it working and I thought it would be good to put together a blog post on how to setup the POSTMAN proxy.īefore we start it’s worth saying that POSTMAN is a Chrome application so you will need the Chrome browser installed. However, when I first started to use the proxy I found it a bit tricky to setup due to some security restrictions in Chrome that POSTMAN has to work around. Recently POSTMAN has been extended to include a proxy that will save a copy of each request you make in your browser, when enabled, and is extremely useful for various tasks such as rapidly creating collections of requests and modeling a web application. ![]() For those unfamiliar with POSTMAN it’s an app for Chrome that allows you to create HTTP requests for Web and API testing as well as save requests into collections for future use. It’s easier than ever to make the switch, and it’ll take a just a hot minute.Since being introduced to POSTMAN a few years back it’s become one of the main tools I use in my day to day testing and it’s a cracking piece of kit for testing with a lot of great features to boot. The Postman native apps have the same capabilities, and in fact, now surpass the Chrome app in performance. While Postman started out as a Postman Chrome app used along with the Postman Interceptor Chrome extension, the API ecosystem has evolved. Goodbye, Postman Chrome app, and thank you for your service. For people who are not signed in to their Postman account or who do not have sync enabled, you can bulk export your Postman data from the Chrome app, and then bulk import into the new native app. Sign in to your Postman account after you download and start the new native app, and all your history and collections will be automatically synced. The process is simple, and will take less than 60 seconds. Initiate migration sequenceĭon’t wait for your experience in the Chrome app to get compromised. We know much of the Postman community currently still uses our Chrome app, and will be affected by this change. Going forward, new features and enhancements will be introduced exclusively in the native apps, and support for the Postman Chrome app will be deprecated. In the meantime, the native apps already have a proxy to capture HTTP requests and a cookie editor to manage cookies. ![]() If you’re using the Postman Interceptor Chrome extension, you will soon be able to use it with the native apps. So now the Postman native apps cover all the features and functionality of the Chrome app and Chrome extension together, and in many cases the native apps are even better than the original Chrome app. Postman engineers have worked hard to build feature parity in the native apps in anticipation of this deprecation. After Google announced their plans to end support for Chrome apps for Windows, Mac, and Linux users, Postman introduced native apps for Windows, Mac, and Linux users and encouraged users to begin the migration. Download our free native apps for continued support and better performance. If you’re still using the Postman Chrome app, you may have noticed a new banner at the top:Ĭhrome apps are being deprecated. ![]()
