Postman Collection

Download Postman Collection

The attached postman collection makes use of variables so that it can be considered environment-agnostic.

These variables are:

  • {{bearerToken}}
  • {{baseUrl}}

We recommend executing the postman collection as a batch using Newman.

Newman is the command-line runner for Postman collections. It allows a Postman collection to be executed outside of the Postman UI, making it useful for automated API testing, regression testing, and integration with build or CI/CD pipelines.

Collections can be parameterized using Postman variables (for example, {{baseUrl}} and {{bearerToken}}) instead of hardcoded values. Variable values are then supplied at runtime using command-line arguments or an environment file, allowing the same collection to be executed against different environments without modification.

The alternative to Newman is to find/replace in the json file then import the collection into your Postman application.

Windows install and usage guide for Newman:

# Install newman
npm install -g newman

# verify
newman -v

# navigate to directory with postman collection
cd <your working directory>

# execute postman collection unit tests for CA PRD
newman run "postman_collection.WebApi.v2.0_unit_tests_1.json" `
    --env-var baseUrl=https://query.ampre.ca `
    --env-var bearerToken=<your token value here>
