Why, when I create a new API, is there

When I go to the “define” tab of my brand newly created API, it is already populated with loads of stuff. What is this stuff? Why is it there?

Hey @olliew,

welcome to the postman community… :grinning:

It is a reference for designing API just like one can do on swagger’s editor. so it just gives you an easy way of understanding API standardization.

So I just delete it and start fresh?

Yes, Or just replace the values as per your API specification.

Best,
Vikram.
