What does Postman do?

## The TL;DR

Postman is a suite of tools that helps developers build, test, and use API endpoints. 

• The whole world is pretty much made up of APIs, and tons of developer hours are spent working with them

• The default way of working with APIs is via the terminal in cURL, or client libraries in your favorite programming languages

• Postman gives developers a nice UI for working with APIs: making requests, authenticating, testing, and even permissions

At the time of writing, there are more than 20M developers on the platform (at least according to their site), so it’s pretty popular!
