Postman Live Sessions for Pair Debugging APIs
Blog post from Postman
Postman Live Sessions provide a collaborative environment for real-time editing and execution of API requests within the Postman workspace, allowing users to work together seamlessly without the need for additional configuration like port forwarding or proxy setup. The feature is particularly beneficial for onboarding new engineers, pair debugging local APIs, and guiding external partners through API integrations. During a Live Session, all participants can view and edit the same collection, with changes reflected instantly, and requests run from the host's machine, ensuring that environment variables and secrets remain secure. However, it's essential to be cautious about sharing sensitive data, as all session participants can view response contents. Live Sessions are not sandboxed, so any changes made are permanent unless conducted in a forked workspace. The ability to sync HTTP collections in real time enhances collaboration, though sessions end when the host leaves the workspace.
