API performance testing

Simulate real-world traffic and measure your APIs' performance with Postman's new performance-testing features.

Simulate real-world traffic

Postman can simulate multiple, parallel users—or "virtual users"—that send requests to your APIs continuously for a specified duration. This lets you observe and test the performance of your APIs in real-world scenarios.

Deploy with confidence

With Postman API performance testing, you can easily observe performance metrics such as response times, error rates, and requests per second under a simulated load. This helps you identify performance bottlenecks early, improve performance, and deploy to users with confidence.


Your AI strategy is only as strong as your APIs.

Postman helps teams collaboratively build APIs that power workflows and intelligent agents. With support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), your APIs are integration ready. Learn how top teams avoid pitfalls and rescue APIs from chaos.
