Setting the Foundation

Lay the groundwork for everything that follows. You'll set up secure identity and access, design workspaces built to scale, enable your first champions, and run a complete build and share cycle. By the end you'll have proof that your rollout works.

Enterprise Admin Setup

Domain Verification

This course is designed for organization administrators and partners to understand and execute domain verification in Postman Enterprise, covering prerequisites, methods, planning, execution, troubleshooting, and governance aspects of domain verification.

Role Based Access Control for Postman Enterprise

This course is designed to aid you organize Postman users according to your org structure. Topics you'll learn about are: assigning roles and resources, simplifying onboarding, and creating groups.

Configuring SSO

This course covers the planning, setup, testing, rollout, and troubleshooting of Single Sign-On (SSO) for enterprise administrators configuring SSO for Postman.

Configuring SCIM

Learn to configure SCIM in Postman, covering provisioning, deprovisioning, and troubleshooting, with a focus on IdP-specific configurations and domain capture implications.

Vault Integrations

Explore the journey of secrets from vault, to Postman, to CI/CD; and understand the significance of enterprise vaults. You will also learn about breach patterns, remediation, and CI/CD patterns like GitHub Actions, Postman CLI, and air-gapped or IaC considerations.

Secret Scanner

Discover how Secret Scanner helps your organization find credentials and sensitive material in connected repositories, with chapters on scanning, resolution, patterns, and API automation.

Domain Capture

Domain Capture for Postman Enterprise admins covers the entire journey of capturing unclaimed Postman accounts. From verified domains, SSO, and optional SCIM integration, with insights on Levels 1 and 2 capture, readiness checks, enabling and disabling capture, and license hygiene.

Postman Foundations

API Beginner Path (v12)

Learn about the basics of APIs, the vision of the API-first world and the Postman API Platform. Then, make your first requests! (Postman v12)

Meet Spec Hub

Learn how to design, govern, and build high-quality API specifications all in a single, secure platform!

Getting Started with Native Git

Learn the fundamentals of Native Git in Postman — what it is, how it works, and how to choose the right setup pattern for your team.

Getting Started with the Postman CLI

Install, authenticate, and run the Postman CLI for local development and/or in CI/CD pipelines.

Meet Agent Mode

This course is designed to get you up and running with Postman's Agent Mode feature

The First Producer Loop

Workspace Sync: Bridging Native Git and Postman Cloud

Publish validated local workspace state from Native Git to Postman Cloud using the Postman CLI. Learn the two-step prepare-then-push pattern, custom directory layouts, and how to wire workspace sync into a CI/CD pipeline so every merge to main updates the Private API Network.

Local Mock Servers with the CLI

Run Git-backed local mock servers headlessly via the Postman CLI. Covers mock.js and mock.json file structure, the --mock flag for integrated runs, postman mock run for explicit lifecycle control, and wiring local mocks into a CI/CD pipeline as the read-gate half of the merge-gated workflow for producer workspaces.

Running Collections in CI/CD with the Postman CLI

Run Postman collections from CI/CD pipelines with the Postman CLI: flags, exit codes, reporters, data-driven runs, CI platform integrations, and multi-stage dev→staging→prod patterns.

Monitoring and Performance Testing via CLI

Extend your CI/CD pipeline from correctness testing to full API observability. Covers postman monitor run for triggering Postman Cloud monitors as a post-deployment gate, postman performance run for simulating concurrent virtual users against deployed endpoints, and wiring both into GitHub Actions workflows. Companion course to the Postman CLI producer dev loop (Workspace Sync + Local Mocks).

Establishing a Baseline API Governance

Turn design-time API governance into an automated quality gate: configure the spectral:oas recommended ruleset, run postman spec lint against your specs, and enforce it in CI.

The First Consumer Loop

First Consumer Loop

Discover, evaluate, and adopt internal APIs from your organization's Private API Network, then give feedback to the producers who maintain them.

Scale and Mature

Take what's working and grow it. You'll extend your setup to new teams and domains, then add consistent governance, automated testing, and a catalog people can actually find their way around. Quality and visibility grow right along with adoption.

Operationalize and Institutionalize

Make good practices the default. You'll automate the path from build to publish, generate SDKs and performance tests as part of the flow, and turn your catalog into the source of truth for every API. Teams can serve themselves with confidence, and Postman keeps delivering value well after launch.
