You can run Postman Collections to test and interact with your APIs. In Postman, a collection can be a group of saved requests, a workflow, or a test suite. When you run a collection, Postman sends some or all of the requests in the collection in the order you choose.
In Postman, you can run your collections in the following ways:
You can run collections manually with the Collection Runner. Running collections manually is useful when you’re sending a small number of requests and don’t need to repeat them on a regular schedule.
You can also use the Postman VS Code extension to manually run collections in the same application you use to develop your APIs.
You can schedule collections to run automatically. Scheduled collection runs are useful for automating your API testing. Monitors are useful for checking your API’s performance, availability, and reliability.
You can automate collection runs in your CI/CD pipeline with the Postman CLI or Newman.
You can use webhooks to trigger collection runs at certain times or when a specific event happens in your application.
You can also run collections to simulate real-world traffic and test the performance of your API under load.
