Workspace and Collection Setup

#

A workspace and a collection must be created before making API requests in Postman.

Creating a Workspace

#

1. Open Postman (web or desktop app).
2. Click the “Workspaces” dropdown and select “Create Workspace.”

   

3. Choose the “Blank Workspace” template.

   

4. Enter a descriptive workspace name (e.g., “API Learning,” “Project X APIs”). “Postman API Fundamentals Student Expert” is recommended for this course.
5. Select the desired visibility setting (e.g., “Personal,” “Team,” or “Public”).
6. Click “Create Workspace.”

Creating a Collection

#

1. In the left sidebar, click the “+” icon or select “New” > “Collection.”

   

2. Choose “Blank collection.”

   

3. Name the collection “Postman Library API v2.” A descriptive name is recommended for other projects.
