Designing APIs with Postman: Documenting as You Build

Documentation that drifts from the code is worse than none. Postman ties docs to the requests themselves, so they stay honest.

Live documentation

Publish a collection as browsable documentation complete with example requests and responses, generated from what you actually send.

A single source of truth

When a request changes, update the collection and the docs update with it. No more maintaining a separate wiki that went stale months ago.

Collaboration for teams

Share collections so front-end and back-end teams explore and test the same endpoints with the same examples.

Wrapping up

Docs generated from working examples stay accurate and make onboarding a new API painless.
