Sending Your First Request Through Postman
Postman enables you to create and<b> send API requests</b>.
You can send a request to an endpoint, retrieve data from a data source, or test an API's functionality.
You don't need to enter commands in a terminal or write any code.
All you have to do is to <b>create a new request </b>and select Send, and the API response appears right inside Postman.
Let me explain to you.
APIs provide a structured way for one application to <b>access the capabilities</b> of another application. Typically, this communication happens over the internet by way of an API server. A client application (like a mobile app) sends a request to the server, and after the request processes the server returns a response to the client.
A request includes the URL of the API endpoint and an HTTP request method. The method indicates the action you want the API to perform. Here are some of the most common methods:
When you're ready, open Postman and send your first request.
Postman displays the <b>response data </b>sent from the server in the lower pane.
In this example, Postman is acting as the <b>client application</b> and is communicating with an <b>API server</b>. Here's what happened when you selected Send:
Now that you've sent your first request, you're ready to do more with Postman!
You can send more requests to the Postman Echo API, a handy tool you can use to test API requests in Postman.
You can also send <b>ME </b>requests for any help you require, I'll be happy to assist you!

Antarctica is a software concept, design and development company that builds easy to use applications and architects complex to build ecosystems. We do it for people who believe just like us that fighting climate change isn’t an option, it is our generation’s utmost duty.
So we made it simple: the things we do, the products we build, the services we render, must either protect our mothers or protect Mother Nature. Said otherwise, our mission is to either save lives or save Life, penguins included. We are the good side of technology. We are Antarctica.
We are the good side of technology. We are Antarctica.
