Step‑by‑Step Guide to Install and Use the Postman Chrome Extension
This guide walks you through installing the Postman Chrome extension—both via the official website and manual unpacked loading—then introduces its main interface, key buttons, and advanced features for API testing and HTTP requests.
Installation
This article explains how to install the Postman Chrome extension, both via the official website and by manually loading an unpacked extension.
Official installation: open https://www.getpostman.com , click the “Chrome App (Free)” button, which redirects to the Chrome Web Store.
Manual (non‑official) installation: download the provided ZIP package, unzip it, open Chrome’s Extensions page, enable Developer mode, click “Load unpacked”, select the folder, and then launch Postman from the Chrome Apps menu.
Getting Started
Postman is a powerful API debugging and HTTP request tool. The first screen shows the main interface, with key buttons such as Import, New Folder, Save Request, and Download.
Import : import API request files (JSON).
New Folder : organize requests.
Save Request : store request and response.
Download : export requests as JSON.
Team collaboration is possible after registration, though many users prefer sharing files directly.
Advanced Features
Postman supports all HTTP methods (GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, etc.), custom parameters and headers, various authentication schemes (Basic Auth, Digest Auth, OAuth 1.0, OAuth 2.0), and syntax‑highlighted responses for HTML, JSON, and XML.
Q: Is there a Chinese version? A: No. Remember, you are a developer!
