Make private APIs easy to find and use

Private APIs keep your business running, but they often sprawl across repos, docs, and tools. Postman's Private API Network brings them all together in one place, so teams can find, reuse, and govern services without digging through docs or Slack.

  • Reduce time to first call from hours to minutes with collections, environments, and workspaces
  • Bake testing into every change and run in CI/CD with Postman CLI
  • Centralize distribution with the Private API Network and protect secrets by default

One place for every internal API

The Private API Network is your organization's central hub where teams can discover, share, and govern internal APIs with confidence.

Centralized API hub

One place to find every internal API. No more hunting through Slack threads, docs, or repos.

Reusable services

No need to duplicate work. Reuse existing services and accelerate delivery across teams.

Built-in guardrails

Platform teams set access and approval rules once, so services stay consistent without slowing engineers down.

Faster onboarding

New engineers can immediately start forking examples, sending requests, and exploring trending APIs.

How teams adopt private APIs at every stage

Whether you're prototyping in a project, sharing across teams, or managing APIs company-wide, Postman makes it easy to publish, discover, and reuse internal services at every stage.

Single-team: every team gets a home base

Postman gives each team a hub workspace to manage specs, mocks, and tests in one place, so engineers move faster with less friction.

Cross-team: publish once, reuse everywhere

Discovery workspaces let teams publish well-documented APIs that others can fork and build on, reducing duplication and speeding up delivery.

Project-level: experiment freely

Flexible, temporary workspaces make it easy to prototype, demo, or integrate partners without disrupting your permanent API ecosystem.

Platform-wide: one trusted catalog

The Private API network ensures company-wide APIs are governed, trusted, and discoverable, which prevents costly duplication.

Postman's impact on how we build software at Toast has been huge. Not only has it saved time; it has enabled a massively distributed group of people to act as one team.
