- Autocomplete in the Postman sandbox
- New
$isoTimestamp
dynamic variable - Validate OpenAPI 3.0 while importing / editing
Autocomplete in the Postman sandbox
The Postman sandbox comes pre-installed with certain Node.js libraries and other powerful capabilities. Now, when you’re writing pre-request and test scripts, Postman will help out with autocompletion and syntax suggestions. Use your arrow keys and Tab / Enter to accept the suggestions.
This will let you code a bazillion times faster And you can learn about new methods, properties, and parameters - it’s Just-in-Time learning!
New $isoTimestamp
dynamic variable
If you need to include a timestamp with your API calls, now you can use the $isoTimestamp
dynamic variable. This is an ISO-formatted timestamp - just one of the many dynamic variables included in Postman, so you don’t have to generate random inputs on your own.
Validate OpenAPI 3.0 while importing / editing
Authoring and validating API schemas can be cumbersome. Postman is making it easier to do your schema validation
If your team uses OpenAPI version 3.0 for API-first design and development, now you can view all schema validation issues in-line while you’re editing the definition. Issues are also summarized at the bottom, so you can find them all in one spot and fix them quickly.
