Summary

Postman has introduced a revamped system-level proxy feature that enhances its capabilities as a versatile tool for API developers, allowing them to capture HTTP/HTTPS traffic and generate collections from intercepted requests. The new feature, integrated directly into Postman, complements the existing Postman Interceptor browser extension by enabling users to intercept system traffic, such as from the Spotify desktop application, and transform it into organized, testable collections. To start a proxy session, users must install a Root CA to intercept HTTPS traffic, after which they can filter and capture traffic from specific domains. The captured data can be saved, organized by endpoints, and used for testing and documentation purposes, achieving full feature parity with other HTTP/S proxy products. This development aims to make Postman a more comprehensive tool for API inspection and testing, inviting user feedback and engagement.
