Its free and available on the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/postman/fhbjgbiflinjbdggehcddcbncdddomop?hl=en">Chrome Webstore</a>. Install and launch the app. To test an api call which requires authentication, turn on the Interceptor in Postman</p> <p><img alt="Postman.Interceptor" loading="lazy" src="../../images/2016/03/Postman.Interceptor-300x98.png"></p> <p>This will prompt for a plugin to be installed in Chrome.</p> <p><img alt="Chrome.Interceptor" loading="lazy" src="../../images/2016/03/Chrome.Interceptor-300x11.png"></p> <p>Once you do that, login to your application in Chrome. The login credentials will be passed on to Postman and you can proceed with the API call testing.</p>
