FAQs about Postman collection templates

What are Postman collection templates?

Postman collection templates help you speed up your API design, development, testing, and documentation workflows. These templates offer real-world examples and include sample requests, reusable test scripts, and actionable steps for implementing best practices.

You can use these templates to learn how to use Postman, dive into specific use cases, or get ideas and inspiration for making the most of your collections.

You can use collection templates to fast-track your work, discover better ways to solve problems with Postman, and learn more about APIs.

Each template includes an interactive example and documentation. Start by reviewing the example to understand the solution and familiarize yourself with any new Postman features.

Next, customize the template by updating preset requests with your own API details. You can also copy test scripts from a template and paste them into your own collections.

Postman offers a range of templates across categories including:

  • Use cases: Templates that help with API testing, documentation, and prototyping.
  • Developer roles: Templates designed for quality engineers and developers (backend, frontend, fullstack) to complete tasks more efficiently.
  • Getting started: Templates that help you quickly learn Postman and API basics.

Developers, technical architects, data scientists/engineers, product managers, CXO/VP/Directors, technical writers, students, and professors—practically anyone looking to streamline their API workflows—can benefit from using Postman collections.
