Enforce API governance rules for your team in Postman

You can customize the API governance rules that Postman applies to your API specifications. Postman notifies team members if their API specifications violate the configured governance rules. This enables team members to keep APIs consistent and secure in your team.

Configure governance rules

You can configure API Governance rules that Postman applies to your API specifications in Spec Hub. You can use existing governance rules from the rule library or create custom governance rules. Then you can apply those rules to specific workspaces in your team.

You can also create custom governance functions and use them in your custom governance rules that Postman applies to your API specifications in Spec Hub.
