_How can one use fetch in Postman? I’ve tried importing it as well as creating a environment variable as [https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fetch/3.6.2/fetch.min.js](https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fetch/3.6.2/fetch.min.js) and getting that variable in my tests. I keep getting Fetch is not a function or it’s not defined_:

Hey @apinoob123,

An alternative to trying to import `fetch` is to use the [built-in `pm.sendRequest` function](https://learning.postman.com/docs/writing-scripts/script-references/postman-sandbox-api-reference/#sending-requests-from-scripts).

HTH!
