Postman Now Supports WebSocket APIs
Blog post from Postman
Postman has introduced support for WebSocket APIs in its platform, now available in public beta with version 8.5 and above, addressing a highly requested feature from its community. This update allows users to establish two-way communication between the browser and web server through WebSocket APIs, offering a new asynchronous API paradigm. Users can create a WebSocket Request tab to input their API URL, establish connections, send and receive messages, and customize headers and query parameters for the connection. The platform provides detailed information on the connection process and a robust interface for composing and previewing messages with syntax highlighting and search capabilities. The unified message timeline helps users manage and filter messages efficiently, and previous sessions can be revisited and reused, facilitating collaboration in shared workspaces. Postman aims to enhance its platform by supporting WebSocket subprotocols and expanding its debugging utilities, encouraging community feedback and engagement through forums and GitHub to improve and innovate further.
