Monitor a postman collection


How do I use a data file to monitor my postman collection? I read in the Postman Documentation that it is not possible to use a data file as we use for collection run but we can access Google docs, Google sheets etc. I don't understand how do we import these files?


Solution

  • One can send a binary file as part of the request body while using the Postman App. However, the same functionality is not available in a monitor run. You cannot specify a binary file to be sent as the request body.

    Depending upon the file that you're sending, you can use the raw request body type to send the same file. Simply copy the contents of the file that you would normally send in the App, select body type as raw and paste that in the request body.

    Note: This might not work with all file types.
