However, we could do this running a local collection file using Newman.

We can not do this running our collection using a scheduled Postman Monitor because the collection runs on the Postman cloud, which cannot access your local server. Note: this solution works because we are running our collection on a local instance of the Postman app, using an internal network request. Your local server will receive the POST request initiated by running the Postman collection and your local script will write this to your file system, as spaceReport.json.īy running on a local server, and then using scripts in Postman to build a request to send to that server, you can write to your file system or even log entries in a local database. Run the Postman collection to make a GET request and then make a POST request to your local server. Check out the collection documentation for step-by-step instructions to get started. Run the Postman collectionĬlick the Run in Postman button to import the collection and corresponding environment. In this example, script.js is the file created in the previous step.

POSTMAN TIP > Run a local server, and use scripts in Postman to build a request to send to that server. We’ll walk through that process in 2 simple steps.

Here’s an example of using Newman to run a collection and writing the file to your disk. But, what if you want to export the data resulting from a Postman collection run to CSV or JSON? Output data to CSV or JSON For development, you can also log data to the Postman console. We’ve seen it’s super useful to use an inbound webhook to pipe information gathered by Postman to a Slack channel for scheduled collection runs.
