In this video, I wanted to introduce you to a great web development and testing tool for working with REST APIs.

It is called Postman and you can download it for free at postman.com. It is available for Windows, macOS, or Linux. In case you have the Chrome browser plugin, make sure you download the standalone app, as the browser plugin has been deprecated and is no longer supported.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to get started with Postman by actually using a real-world REST API. So let's get started with Postman.
