Delete postman cache

Tags:

postman

I use Postman extension to check out my RESTful APIs

I am trying to make a request to my "localhost", but it seems to have cached one of the query parameters.

I tried clearing cache of my chrome browser but this does not seem to work. I went to the extent of even changing the API resource name.

Has anyone come across such an issue?

Quit the app. Transfer the Partitions file from the former Postman folder to the new Postman folder. Open the Postman Desktop app. If the data populates as expected, delete the former Postman folder.

Postman sends a 'cache-control: no-cache' – which might be a headache when you're debugging caching issues. Testing the caching of requests to a web server, I was sending requests using Postman (https://www.getpostman.com/).

Cache-Control request header can be used but one thing to clarify

no-cache does not mean do not cache. In fact, it means on every HTTP request it "revalidate with server" before using any cached response. If the server says that the resource is still valid then the cache will still use the cached version.

while no-store is effectively asking to not cache at all and is intended not to to store anything in the cache.
