Postman Tutorial - How to send a Post Request in Postman

Learn how to send a Post Request with a JSON body in Postman.

POST request is used to create a new resource on the server and all parameters are sent in the body of the request. Postman provides different ways of constructing the body like form-data, x-www-form-urlencoded, binary, GraphQL, and raw which consists of Text, JavaScript, JSON, HTML, and XML.

We will be using a sample POST Request from GitHub API to create a new repository as an authenticated user. Following is the endpoint URL for the API - https://api.github.com/user/repos. We will also add the below JSON body:
{
"name": "APITest",
"description": "This is your first repository",
"homepage": "https://github.com",
"private": false,
"has_issues": true,
"has_projects": true,
"has_wiki": true
}

Once we send the POST request successfully, it returns a Status of 201 with description as "Created".

We can also validate the different parameters in the Response Body like Project Name and check whether it has the same name which was sent in the original request.
