So you have a group of API calls that you are testing but want to organize them into groups. Maybe some deal with a transaction process and others deal with creating users. It would be much easier to use them if each group had its own container. This article will teach you how to create collections to organize your API calls as well as share them with other team members.

This is built off of the tutorial from https://www.guru99.com/postman-tutorial.html

A prerequisite for this is downloading Postman(free from https://www.postman.com/downloads/) and creating an account which is also free.

Creating Requests

We are going to create a few requests to use as dummy data for this tutorial. Open Postman and create a new tab. In the URL type in the following request https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users , change the request method to GET and press the send button and confirm a 200(OK) response is returned.
