Specifying Query and template parameters in POSTMAN

Question

I moved from SOAPUI to Postman for API testing and can't find a way to specify parameters as Query or template in Postman.

SOAPUI gives you an option to specify the type of parameter in its parameter table.

But in Postman, it just gets recognized as Query parameter (appended to URL)

Need to find a way to specify parameter as template parameter in POSTMAN

Answer 1

In Postman you need to use :variable to specify a template parameter. So in your example, your request URL would look like:

http://localhost:8080/database/:databaseID

After declaring your URL this way, you would click on Params where you should see your key, "databaseID" in this case, and you can provide any value, including any global or environment variable.
