API Governance in Postman

The Postman API Governance features identify inconsistencies or weaknesses in your APIs and recommend possible fixes or improvements that follow industry best practices. These features enable you to automate your organization’s governance review processes instead of relying on manual reviews.

API governance is the practice of defining and applying development rules that promote consistent API behaviors across your organization’s API landscape.

Postman applies API governance rules at the API specification level. You can view rule violations that might impact your specification’s governance posture.

Enterprise teams can also create custom rules. See Enforce API governance rules for your team in Postman for more details.
