Free API for Postman Practice
Most "Postman practice" APIs are read-only fakes. This one persists writes, runs real auth flows, exposes a real OpenAPI 3.0 spec for one-click import, and ships error simulation so your tests can fail on demand.
One-click Postman import
In Postman: Import → Link → paste this URL:
https://demo.totalshiftleft.ai/openapi.json
Every endpoint becomes a request, with example bodies pre-filled.
What you can practice
- Variables and environments — swap base URLs and tokens cleanly
- Pre-request scripts — auto-fetch a JWT and set
{{token}} - Tests — assert status codes, JSON shape, response time
- Chained requests — create a user, then create an order for them
- Collection Runner / Newman — run the whole flow in CI
- Mock servers — pair Postman's mock with this real backend
- Monitor — schedule the collection and watch it run
