The one-day workshop on “Understanding API and Postman” aimed to provide students with a foundational comprehension of Application Programming Interface (API) concepts and the practical application of these principles using the Postman platform.
Objective
The objective was to give students a basic understanding of what API and Postman is, and how to use Postman for testing API’s
Event Details
During the comprehensive lecture, students were expertly guided through the process of creating a Postman account, a fundamental step in the initiation of their journey into API testing. The hands-on session unfolded as an interactive exploration, where participants navigated the intricacies of the Postman platform, learning how to leverage its features for effective API testing.
In addition to testing APIs available on the web, the session extended its scope to local APIs, providing students with a holistic learning experience. This segment empowered participants to apply their newfound knowledge to APIs within a controlled environment, honing their skills in a context that mirrored real-world scenarios.
Conclusion
By the end of the lecture, the students not only successfully created their Postman accounts but also demonstrated a practical mastery of API testing. Engaging with various APIs, both online and locally, allowed them to apply the principles learned during the session.
