How to Authorize Requests with Postman

The Postman API testing platform makes it easy for users to manage request authorization for testing purposes. Users can create collections and folders of related requests, store authentication and authorization credentials for different environments, and easily run the requests in each environment with the correct authentication information.

Postman supports a variety of authentication credentials including API keys, Bearer tokens, Basic auth, OAuth 2.0, and AWS Signature. When creating or opening a request, users select the authentication method and enter the auth details using the Authorization tab. The authentication information will automatically populate to the correct locations in the request. Any new requests created in a collection or folder will inherit the parent's auth by default, unless the user enters new auth information for the request. Users can also define authentication variables, allowing the same request to run in different environments using the correct authentication information for each environment.
