Download Postman Desktop Agent For Windows
Therese Cowden
If you are using the Postman web client, you will need to also download the Postman desktop agent. The Postman agent overcomes the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) limitations of browsers, and facilitates API request sending from your browser version of Postman. Read the blog post.
What I did to fix this was go into the settings on the website and change the default proxy settings to use the desktop agent proxy and then everything started to work. Hope this helps someone, I was going nuts.
Hi, we are using a gateway proxy to protect all of our users. (Zscaler). One of our developers says the postman agent installed in his machine is not working. By looking into the postman agent log file in my own machine and after adding the pstmn.io domain to the list of exceptions in zscaler, I found the text below. As far as I understand there was an error some days ago, but now it is working ok. Is this correct? . How could I check if the postman agent is working ok? Thank you very much in advance for your support. (As you can see I am not a developer)
steps to reproduce
1 Go to postman.co
2 download/install the desktop agent
3 When attempting to do API requests, postman says the desktop agent is unavailable
4 Everything works fine with Chrome.
I am using postman trying to post a basic http request to an API endpoint. My web version (Postman for Web Version 9.0.9-211111-0900 Chrome 95 / Windows 10) can do this successfully everytime (http 200). My desktop application version (Postman v9.1.3) cannot. I also have the same problem with the web version of postman when I turn the Desktop Agent (v0.3.9) on. The postman desktop application and the postman web with desktop agent on I get the following http 503 error. Any ideas why this is happening?
Postman is a platform for building and using APIs and helps for simplifying the steps in the APIs lifecycles to streamline collaboration for creating faster APIs. It includes various API tools to accelerate the development cycle, including the design mockups and testing documentation, etc. Postman will use it directly on a web browser or we can also download the desktop version also for convenient use. Nowadays postman is also used by multinational companies like Twitter, Gear4music, BetterCloud, Momentive, etc. It also offers an API through which users can access data on the platform. It offers features such as search, notifications, alerts, security warnings, etc.
To use Postman in a web browser, as we do in this module, download and run the Postman desktop agent on your machine to overcome cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) limitations. This is different from the Postman app. Check out the documentation for more information about the agent.
About postman - your previous question: I'm using Postman.com - not something on the desktop. It is not integrated with PAD in anyway. I simply use it to manually test API connectivity.
