Reading the Response
After sending a request, Postman displays the response status code, response time, body content, and headers, allowing you to quickly verify whether the API behaved as expected.
Saving Your Request
Once a request works as intended, it's good practice to save it into a collection so it can be reused, organized, and shared later.
