Being featured on Postman is like hitting the jackpot for your API product! You get more eyes on your stuff, you get to network with other cool API developers, and you even get to market your API to a crowd that's actually interested. And, on top of all that, your search engine ranking will probably get a boost, making it easier for people to find you.
Create a killer collection
Postman has a lot to offer for API users, and as a product manager, you can leverage these features to make a better developer experience for your products.
Collection Structure
Organize your collection using folders and endpoints to make it easy for developers to navigate through your API products and use its features:
Use pre-request scripts

Moreover, the script itself can be used as an API code example and with the power of Postman supported languages you instantly get code examples in various programming languages:
Test, test, test
Before you share your collection, make sure to test it thoroughly. Ensure that all requests are working as expected and that the responses are coming back as you expect. Check for typos and other errors, and make any necessary corrections.
