Set up authorization for public APIs in Postman

An increasing number of public APIs offer easier authentication through Postman, including Stripe, Open AI, Notion, and Spotify. When you create a request to a supported API, Postman will automatically recognize if the API requires authentication and give you the option to Set up new authorization.

Select Set up new authorization to learn what authentication credentials you'll need to make your request and where you can find them. For APIs that support OAuth 2.0, you can select Authorize to complete authorization. For APIs requiring credentials like tokens or API keys, you can paste those directly into your request.

If you're creating an individual request, you can select Save authorization to save your credentials to an environment for reuse. If you're working on a request that's inheriting authorization from its parent collection, you can select Save authorization to collection, which will let you use it for other requests in your collection.

If you're an API publisher, you can set up easier authentication for your public APIs in your team dashboard. For more information, see Set up authentication for public APIs.
