Postman question here:

How do I utilize the Postman client across multiple machines or workstations?

As context, I downloaded and installed Postman on multiple MacBooks, and created a Postman account to which both MacBooks are logged in within the Postman client. In my ideal scenario, updates I make to the Environments (or any part of the Workspace, I suppose) on one workstation are available regardless of which workstation I use, with updates replicating up or down accordingly. How do I best do that?

This should happen automatically. When you login to Postman on one machine, then login to Postman with the same account on your other machine, both of them should contain the same information. They make take a little while to sync.

 

Thanks @peter_robson. Somehow, I’m not consistently seeing work on one machine replicate through my Postman account to another machine. Some items replicate, and some (namely, the Environments variables) don’t replicate consistently. I’ll do a bit more research on my machines, and thanks for the confirmation that configs *should* replicate across machines.

I’ve found that a ‘swagger’ page to test the api calls and see sample responses is very useful, and would work across devices, but this is a different solution than using Postman.

Gainsight PX API documentation links to a JSON file for Postman configuaration: https://support.gainsight.com/PX/API_for_Developers/02Usage_of_Different_APIs/Work_with_the_Gainsight_PX_REST_API#Sample_API_Calls

Maybe a Github repository could be another way to share and access Postman configurations across devices?

Tagging in @matthew_lind for the above response 🙌🏼

Oh boy and this is the danger of getting into good convos with smart people - trying not to dive right down the Swagger rabbit hole at the moment vs. some project work I have to do today, @benwanlessmenlo , but I have it flagged to dig into later!

I might have to dig into this further, but it looks like Postman has Integrations with different services to provide Backups of collections and API schema:
