Hi @sherykhanlar ,

Welcome to the community 🙂

postman supports http and websocket APIs only (@arlem thanks for the correction) , and in http it supports graphQL, rest, and SOAP

in this Rest is an architectural style, GRapQL is a query language and SOAP is an Protocol

Hey @sherykhanlar, welcome to the community!

Postman also supports WebSocket APIs, and we’ll soon be adding more to the list. 🙂

> We are excited to introduce the support of WebSocket APIs in Postman. This powerful update is now available in public beta with Postman v8.5 and above.
