Postman

The Postman integration is currently in private preview, and needs to be enabled both for your Postman team and your Stainless organization. If you have any trouble with setup for this integration, please reach out to your account manager to ensure the features are enabled for your account.

Postman is a collaboration platform for API development that simplifies the process of building, testing, and documenting APIs.

With the Stainless <> Postman integration, you can generate robust and polished SDKs directly from your Postman collection.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:

• An account on Stainless
• An existing Postman collection

1. Add the Stainless App to Postman

1. Go to Postman's apps page
2. Find the Stainless app and click “Install”
3. Click “Allow” on the permission dialog
4. Follow the prompts to create a Stainless API key, share it with Postman, and copy the resulting details back into Stainless

• Be sure you click the “Connect” button on Stainless’s site before completing the flow in Postman

2. Generate SDKs

From your Postman collection, click the ”…” icon, scroll down to “Apps”, and click “Generate SDK”:

From there you can choose your languages. If this is your first time generating an SDK for this collection, it will take a few moments to create the initial Stainless project and generate the first SDKs. After that, you’ll have a link to view each of your SDKs:

3. View / Edit SDKs

Each SDK links out into Stainless, where you can download a test version of your SDK, view code samples, configure SDK details, and publish your SDKs if you’d like.
