Announcing Postman for the Web, Now in Open Beta

@sherri.knight Sorry about that, do you have a firewall or other software that could stop the Agent from sending requests? Alternatively, can you try selecting “Cloud Agent” in the bottom right of the window and see if it works?

P.S: Your screenshot above shows your API key, make sure that you revoke it.

Hi Arlemi!

I am having success with the Cloud Agent. The Desktop Agent still doesn’t work however. Is it acceptable to use Cloud Agent for the conference?

Thank you so much for your help!

Best Regards,
Sherri

@sherri.knight The Cloud Agent should be enough, though there’s a limited amount of requests you can make through so try not to use it too much before the workshop!

Regarding the issues with the Desktop Agent please contact [email protected] and they’ll be able to help, I suspect one of your other applications might be blocking it from sending requests.

Since the launch, I have never been able to use Postman Web. Reason being the client environment. We are behind the Citrix environment and are not allowed to install any desktop agents as such. Max we can do is to install Chrome Extensions which works just fine. I have been a long time user of Postman Chrome Legacy app (which still works beautifully with a warning that I should switch to Native) however, Postman Web is not what I thought it to be. For some reason, I keep getting CORS Error which cannot be bypassed for obvious reasons (Citrix) and are now stuck in the Legacy Chrome App. Chrome extension works beautifully along with the other web based rest clients like Talend and SureUtils. It will be great if this Postman Web is more like a PWA and works the same way as Talend API works.

Are you able to send a request with the Cloud Agent?

Nope. Cloud Agent cannot work for me as it uses Postman’s servers. Postman servers do not have a firewall connection with our client load balancers.

FYR -

Cloud Agent Error:
Cloud Agent Error: Couldn’t resolve host. Make sure the domain is publicly accessible or select a different agent.

Browser Agent Error:
CORS Error: The request has been blocked because of the CORS policy

That seems more like the limitation that the Cloud Agent, that it can’t make requests to URLs that are not publically accessible.

Noob Question - Why can’t it be more like Postman Chrome Extension or Talend API or SureUtils? Those are also browser based REST API clients and are able to make a call to the same URL without leaving the browser or installing a desktop agent of any kind.
