About the Postman VS Code extension

With the Postman VS Code extension, you can develop and test your APIs in Postman right from Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio Code Insiders. The VS Code extension also supports VSCodium and Cursor. Streamline your development workflow by testing your APIs in the same application you use to develop them.

You can use the VS Code extension to organize your API requests in Postman Collections, and share them with your team using workspaces. You can also manage environments from the VS Code extension, enabling you to group related variables and share them with your team.

The Postman VS Code extension supports version 1.74 and later of the Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio Code Insiders, and VSCodium applications. The VS Code extension supports all versions of Cursor.

The VS Code extension enables you to:

• Create and send HTTP, raw WebSocket, and gRPC requests.
• Import collections and environments exported from Postman, and import requests from cURL commands.
• Collaborate with team members by sharing collections, environments, and workspaces.
• Write and view collection documentation.
• Edit and send requests from a workspace's request history.
• Create cookies and send them with requests.
• Create and manage collections and environments.
• Run a collection's requests in a sequence using the Collection Runner.
• Troubleshoot API requests in the Postman Console.
