The Postman CLI vs. Newman: choose the right tool for you
Blog post from Postman
API testing remains a pivotal aspect of Postman's platform, with both the legacy Newman tool and the newer Postman CLI providing robust testing capabilities. Released in fall 2022 as part of Postman v10, the Postman CLI introduces additional features such as API linting for governance and security, primarily aimed at enterprise users, and a streamlined login process that retains API keys securely. Both tools facilitate running Postman Collections in JSON format or via API key retrieval, with similar command-line arguments for setting variables and processing data inputs. While Newman, an open-source project with a broad community base, allows for exporting collections and has extensive tutorial support, it lacks some of the Postman CLI's newer features and digital signing. The choice between the two largely hinges on specific team needs and preferences, with the Postman CLI offering a modern, compact interface and direct integration into the Postman application, while Newman provides a well-established, community-driven option with comprehensive installation resources.
