Partner APIs are privately available APIs used for collaboration among strategic partners. They can be used to integrate data processing and syndication, in industries such as banking, healthcare, and media. [Partner Workspaces](https://www.postman.com/product/partner-workspaces/) enable you to collaborate with external partners directly in Postman.

You can use Partner Workspaces to help your partners consume your team's APIs and work together on API projects. With Partner Workspaces, you can build a single source of truth and integrate your partner projects into your Postman team, establishing the foundation for an efficient and productive partnership.

  From May 2025, you'll be able to create *team-to-team Partner Workspaces*. This update enhances security and authentication for Postman API partnerships and enables access to a Partner Workspace from one's own team. In addition to supporting SSO login for partners, Partner Managers can verify which partners use SSO from a new [**Partnerships**](https://go.postman.co/settings/team/partnerships/external-partners) page in **Team Settings**. See the [FAQ](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/partner-workspaces/faq/) about team-to-team partnerships.

As your Partner programs grow, you need to create, maintain, and update separate workspaces with the same content for each partner. Instead, you could use *multi-partner mode*.
