help Postman Postbot FAQ
How does the Postman Postbot extension use AI to generate API requests?
Postbot integrates directly into the Postman application and leverages OpenAI's large language models to understand natural language prompts. You can type a command like "create a POST request for a login endpoint," and the extension will automatically generate the boilerplate request structure and parameters.
Can Postman Postbot write automated test scripts for my collections?
Yes, Postbot can generate test scripts using JavaScript and the Chai assertion library directly within your Postman requests. By prompting the AI to "add tests for status code and response time," it will write the necessary `pm.test()` functions for you.
Is the Postman Postbot Chrome extension free to use?
Postbot is built into the Postman ecosystem and offers a limited number of free AI generations for users on the basic tier. For higher usage limits and advanced team features, users typically need to upgrade to a paid Postman plan.
Does the Postman AI extension send my sensitive API keys to OpenAI?
Postman states that while Postbot uses OpenAI technology, they have data privacy policies designed to avoid exposing your sensitive variables and API keys. However, developers handling highly regulated compliance data should carefully review Postman's privacy policy before activating the extension.
