My Experience with Postman

Postman Futminna API Tour

My learning experience with Postman was awesome, and I learned a lot. The event was organized by @abdulkabirsultan, Postman student leader at the Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMinna).

It was a two-day workshop. On the first day, we focused on Postman API fundamentals through the Postman Student Academy to earn Postman API Fundamentals Student Certification. We learned about API basics and how to interact with them using Postman. Topics covered included API requests, request parameters, sending data with POST, introduction to variables and scripting using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), PATCH and DELETE methods, Postman's Codegen Feature, and at the end, we were given a Postman Student Expert badge. Throughout the workshop, we were guided by the Postman student leader, @abdulkabirsultan.

The second day (Day 2) involved project-based learning with the Theme: "Project-Based Learning: Build an AI Text Summarizer App" on the Postman Academy platform. We learned how to build a project (an AI text summarizer app) using Postman, Hugging Face, and Replit. It was a full-stack app where we used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend, and for the backend (server side), we utilized Node.js and Express. We designed and built the app, which functions to summarize input text. We integrated Hugging Face API for the summarizing functionality, used Postman for API testing and other tasks, while Replit was used for coding.

My learning experience with Postman was awesome and fantastic. I learned a lot. Thanks to Postman, and
@abdulkabirsultan.
