That's really easy to do with postman.

"Postman" seems like a pretty generic name.

Looking quickly online, maybe you're meaning this one?

I'm pretty sure that is what they mean, yes. It is a nice tool. Lets you write HTTP(S) templates with parameters and whatnot, save them in groups, send them, handle the response, etc.

Funny. I initially read that as “The Postman” - kind of like “The Batman.”

And your response is regarding whether it should be referred to in the definite article.

It just works. Every time. It’s gotta be one of the most unappreciated tools out there right now.
