Draft your notebook for the Postman API Network

Start by naming your notebook and adding text to it. Postman saves as you type.

Important: Postman scans your notebooks for sensitive data. If it detects any, it replaces them with placeholders. To learn more, see Postman Secret Scanner.

Format content

Format text by selecting it or using the slash command. You can also use Markdown and keyboard shortcuts.

To learn more, see Format content in your notebook.

Add input blocks

When you add an input block to your notebook, you add input fields that API consumers can edit. The block's value can be referenced as a variable elsewhere in your notebook.

To learn more, see Add input blocks to your notebook.

Add request blocks

When you add a request block to your notebook, you add an API request that API consumers can call. The block's response can be referenced as a variable elsewhere in your notebook.

To learn more, see Add request blocks to your notebook.

Add code runner blocks

When you add a code runner block to your notebook, you add a code snippet that API consumers can run. The block's output can be referenced as a variable elsewhere in your notebook.
