How to change multiple Urls at once in Postman?

Tags:

postman

I have 10+ requests in my Postman collection.

Each time when testing on my local server and testing server I have to change urls from 'localhost:8000' to 'test.mysite' manually.

Is there any solution to change all of them at once ?

How do you parameterize a URL in a Postman?

Right-click selected text, and choose EncodeURIComponent to manually encode a parameter value. To send a path parameter, enter the parameter name into the URL field, after a colon, for example :id . When you enter a path parameter, Postman will populate it in the Params tab, where you can also edit it.

How do I create a dynamic Postman URL?

' In the request URL section, a dynamic variable should be written in {{__}} format. Let's say you have to pass an integer number from 1 to 1000, so for that, you need to add {{$randomInt}}. Like the above example of the number variable, Postman supports so many other dynamic variables as well.

Can Postman test more than one URL at once using rest APIS?

Yes, it is possible.

You can do this using the 'manage environments' feature - This can be accessed using the icon under the Send/Save button.

Add a new environment file and set the key to 'url' and the value to 'localhost:8000' - make sure you give the file a name before saving. Go back to your request and select the new file in the drop down menu - This will currently say 'No Environment'. Once you’ve selected your file, replace the url string with {{url}}/your-route and hit send. This should now send the local request.

Repeat again but this time add the test server value to the 'url' key. Once that’s in place, all you need to do is switch between the 2 environment files when making requests.
