Announcing the new lightweight Postman API client and sunsetting Scratch Pad

The past decade has seen significant technological shifts, notably with the widespread adoption of cloud technology and the rise of generative AI, prompting Postman to evolve its API platform to meet current demands. Originally a simple Chrome extension for sending API calls, Postman has grown to offer comprehensive cloud-based services and team collaboration features, but this evolution created complexity and the challenge of maintaining dual architectures for local and cloud-based capabilities. To streamline operations and enhance efficiency, Postman is retiring its Scratch Pad mode in favor of a unified architecture with a new lightweight API client designed for quick API calls, while encouraging users to migrate to cloud-powered workspaces. This shift facilitates faster feature development, supports new protocols like GraphQL and gRPC, and enhances data security through robust measures and compliance with global standards. Postman is committed to ensuring a seamless transition for users, offering tools and support for data migration, and prioritizing security across its platform, which is now home to over 25 million developers.
