Hi

We have GRPC testing planned, but from what I have observed in postman  
To run GRPC request we need to login but to run REST API we need not login what is the reason behind.

Because our company hasn’t cleared for using PM and wanted to check meanwhile is there a way we can use GRPC request without logging and store the information in our local because if we login information is stored in Post man cloud

Unlike HTTP, gRPC doesn’t work in the [Scratch Pad](https://learning.postman.com/docs/getting-started/using-scratch-pad/). You must be in a Workspace to test your gRPC APIs.

Follow [this thread](https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/10759) for more updates.
