How to specify environment URL when running collections

[dids-reyes (Dids)]

I can run collections using URL by doing this:

newman run https://api.postman.com/collections/myCollectionId?apikey=PMAK-myPostmanApiKey

I just need to get the collection ID and my Postman Api key

but how can i use my env named Dev without exporting it to JSON?

newman run collectionURL -e https://api.postman.com/environments/myCollectionId?apikey=PMAK-myPostmanApiKey

You can’t as far as I’m aware. If you want to include an environment, you need to use the appropriate command line switch.

The Cloud Hosted Postman CLI will allow you to read your environment without exporting it, but the job will run from the Postman Cloud.

You could potentially call the Postman API to get the environment details as part of your pipeline.

How to get Postman Environment and Postman Globals URLs for passing to Newman?

both https://api.postman.com/ and https://api.getpostman.com/ works too

newman run https://api.postman.com/collections/${api_collection_id}?apikey=${pm_key} -e https://api.getpostman.com/environments/${api_dev_environment_id}?apikey=${pm_key} --verbose -r cli,json --reporter-cli-show-timestamps
