*** title: Curate your public collections for the Postman API Network updated: 2025-03-26T00:00:00.000Z slug: docs/postman-api-network/showcase/prepare/curate/overview max-toc-depth: 2 ---------------- Curate your public collections for the Postman API Network and get your API consumers to their first 200 OK response in the fewest steps as possible. Introduce your public APIs, communicate their capabilities, and create a great developer experience. **Important:** Protect your sensitive data. If Postman detects any API keys, tokens, or similar, it replaces them with placeholders. To learn more, see [Postman Secret Scanner](/docs/administration/managing-your-team/secret-scanner/overview/). ## Curate your public collection's overview Introduce your APIs with a name that communicates their purpose. Then, write a description that gets your API consumers started and to their first 200 OK response. To learn more, see [Curate your public collection's overview for the Postman API Network](/docs/postman-api-network/showcase/prepare/curate/public-collections-overview/). ## Curate your public collection's requests Communicate your public API's capabilities with your requests. Add examples and documentation to each request to show how each request works. Then, organize your collection with folders to further streamline your collection. To learn more, see [Curate your public collection's requests for the Postman API Network](/docs/postman-api-network/showcase/prepare/curate/public-collections-requests/). ## Curate your public collection's developer experience Curate your API's developer experience with Postman. Set up authentication and authorization to reduce friction. Create variables and environments to make your collections dynamic. Write scripts to automate tasks and write tests to catch errors. To learn more, see [Curate your public collection's developer experience for the Postman API Network](/docs/postman-api-network/showcase/prepare/curate/public-collections-developer-experience/).
