Postman started in 2012 as a side project of software engineer Abhinav Asthana, who wanted to simplify API testing while working at Yahoo Bangalore. [9] He named his app Postman – a play on the API request “POST” – and offered it free in the Chrome Web Store. As the app's usage grew to 500,000 users with no marketing, Abhinav recruited ...
In computing, POST is a request method supported by HTTP used by the World Wide Web. By design, the POST request method requests that a web server accepts the data enclosed in the body of the request message, most likely for storing it. [1] It is often used when uploading a file or when submitting a completed web form.
The tools listed here support emulating [1] or simulating APIs and software systems.They are also called [2] API mocking tools, service virtualization tools, over the wire test doubles and tools for stubbing and mocking HTTP(S) and other protocols. [1]
The form's data is sent to the web server within a HTTP request with a URL denoting a CGI script. The web server then launches the CGI script in a new computer process, passing the form data to it. The CGI script passes its output, usually in the form of HTML, to the Web server, and the server relays it back to the browser as its response to ...

In web development, a postback is the exchange of information between servers to report a user's action on a website, network, or app. Technically speaking, a postback is an HTTP POST to the same page that the form is on. In other words, the contents of the form are POSTed back to the same URL as the form. [1]
Post/Redirect/Get (PRG) is a web development design pattern that lets the page shown after a form submission be reloaded, shared, or bookmarked without ill effects, such as submitting the form another time. When a web form is submitted to a server through an HTTP POST request, attempts to refresh the server response can cause the contents of ...
A server-side web API consists of one or more publicly exposed endpoints to a defined request–response message system, typically expressed in JSON or XML by means of an HTTP-based web server. A server API (SAPI) is not considered a server-side web API, unless it is publicly accessible by a remote web application.
