Postman override response type


Postman always defaults to "Auto" response type. I'm working with an API that always returns Content-Type:text/plain even though it should be JSON. Is there some way to force Postman to always display responses as pretty-printed JSON for a whole collection?


Solution

  • Usually Postman auto detects the response format using Content type header, specified in header for every API request.

    You can also specify to display auto select JSON in

     Settings -> General -> Language Detection to JSON
