Hi All,

Just a quick question: Does the latest version of Postman CLI support the auto-refreshing tokens implemented in the Postman desktop client?

I can see it’s working with the desktop client, but I see a 400 staus error in Postman cli logs.

Thanks in advance
Paul.

Hey @cruxto :wave:

I don’t believe that it’s been implemented:

You can use auto-refresh when manually sending the request. Auto-refresh isn’t supported for scheduled runs, monitors, the Postman CLI, or Newman.

I can check with the team to get some more information here though.

Thanks, @danny-dainton, There doesn’t seem to be feature parity between Postman & the cli.

We are in the process of moving as much as we can to CI, and we are discovering things as we go.

Do you have documentation anywhere that lists what is and isn’t supported in Postman CLI, as it would be really helpful?

I extracted that quote from the link that you shared in the learning center.

I don’t believe that there will ever be a full 1:1 mapping of all the Postman App features to the Postman CLI - In the same way that not all features were available in Newman.

There are mentions of several limitations throughout the learning center but there is no single page that lists them all.

The best person to provide more information about the Postman CLI would be @malvika-chaudhary, who is the Senior Product Manager for the Postman CLI.
