Using Postman as an automated API best practices validator and governance?

🌱 Just Getting Started
1

Hello people,

We have seen the demo (video), but I still have some questions about Postman that other users might have the answer for:

  1. Does Postman have any data catalog built-in? The goal here is to detect new fields being introduced when creating new or changing existing APIs. The developer creating the API would get a list highlighting the fields that don’t yet exist in the DATA CATALOG. For example, the developer chooses person-code, and Postman lists this field as a new one, and then the user can go through the data catalog and find the person-id and a description for this field. This data catalog feature would reduce the chance of APIs using different names for the same semantic field.
  2. Can Postman support different standards for different sets of APIs? For example, let’s say SYSTEM APIs (not exposed to the internet) and BUSINESS APIs (exposed to the internet)?
  3. Is it possible to automate as much as 60% of the API validation with Postman? We are a growing company, and it’s getting harder to ensure that so many APIs, coming from different teams, are well designed and CONSISTENT across the company.
  4. Does Postman support any other API type? Like AsyncAPI, GraphQL or GRPC?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
