Hi everyone

I am new to Postman. I figured most of it but I am seeing a gray area and usually that means the answer is NO but let me ask the experts before I make any assumptions.

Can I use the platform to actually write an API logic other than just the mechanics in/out?

What I mean by that is this: I accept calls, then re-write the logic and then fire out other calls which is the final product of my function?

For example, I accept a PUT and then I manipulate the JSON, make modifications etc by making outgoing GET calls to various places which is part of the function, then prep my final JSON call which is a POST to the ultimate end-game end-point for this function?

Thank you

Postman is an API client, not a server. So it won’t be the best tool for this.

Thank you but I beg to differ - mock server is exactly that - I just would like to know whether i can “mock” in a more advance manner where the server logic is controlled by me in a way of code?
