Most Postman users don't have a Postman account because you don't need one to use the app. Assuming you've installed Postman, the first thing to do is to create your account. The whole team sharing thing is a paid feature called Postman Cloud. It costs $5 per active team member per month, with a free 30-day trial period with unlimited users. It offers nice little extras such as auto-generated documentation. In this article, I will walk you through the process of setting up Postman Cloud, keeping and sharing your API requests and documenting your endpoints. We were using Postman - which you've most probably heard of it you've worked with or on an API - to run HTTP requests, and keep a history of our past requests. I stopped counting how many times I tried to reuse an obsolete request, got a 4XX-5XX, and thought something was wrong. And one fine morning, I realized that Postman had a Collections tab next to the History tab, and offered cloud storage to save requests and share them with your team. When working on a project with both an API and a frontend, it's more convenient to work on both at the same time, as they can influence one another. I was recently working on an API with a mobile development team, and we lost some valuable time asking each other about the format for a certain request, and retyping the same requests for ten-times-a-day operations such as logging in as our test user.
