Feature request: Emulate network connectivity with Postman

[xavierlefevre]

Hello guys,

We love your product here, and we would like to use it in order to keep a good eye (monitor) on the performance of our APIs. However we do have a need to test our routes in "real customer conditions".

Is there any plan to emulate network connectivity? Would be awesome, like for Chrome: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/network-performance/network-conditions.

Thanks for your answer,

Xavier

Thanks for the feature request! Great to hear that you love the product. We don't have simulations yet but marking this to take up in the future.

@a85 has the team had the opportunity to implement a feature like this? Alternatively; do you know of a workaround to make this work?

NetLimiter...

This has been open since 2017, will we ever see this feature?

[mattgen88]

Being able to throttle network requests would be extremely useful for testing behavior of APIs if network connectivity is slow (e.g., .NET Core will return an error to the user if their upload is considered too slow), as well as debugging.

[Tviljan]

I am guessing this will never happen?

[abdurrahmanriyad]

Eagerly waiting for this. Certainly, an excellent feature to test API in different network circumstances. @postman-support please keep us updated.

I see that postman is chromium based, If I can use a network conditioner in chrome to simulate different network speeds I believe there should be a way to use it in postman as well.

Postman shows browser console and it has network conditioner in it. I just can't make postman use the network conditioner settings to send requests.

@postman-support is there a way to make postman use the underlying chromium network conditioner. Any help on this is greatly appreciated

I had a requirement to limit bandwidth whilst using Postman in order to simulate a slow connection. As a workaround I used Fiddler Classic, which intercepts and logs all traffic in/out when enabled, to simulate modem speeds (Rules -> Performance -> Simulate Modem Speeds) and it did exactly what I needed.

If you want more control over the bandwidth use can use the Fiddler Connection Simulator plugin.

As a bonus, I'd like if it could have per-request throttling

To the Product owner we actually need to talk 😪

[giridharvc7]

@Paula2001 Would love to understand your use cases in detail, feel free to setup a call with me at your convenience

[Paula2001]

well that was definitely unexpected thanks for taking my invitation seriously, anyway I wanted to talk about this issue as far as I can see it's I highly demanded feature and maybe it can add more value to postman which is already fantastic, thanks for the invitation tho :)

[BogdanVko]

Need such functionality as well. A dependency for a service sometimes serves gzip Content-Encoding. I want to test the dependency with throttling enabled to understand if it's related to low bandwidth

[jvhk]

Any update??

[leonardo-carvalhaes-superlogica]

I was looking up for this functionality too. I hope that one day it will come to see the light.

[LeonardoHQ]

Would be a great feature! +1

When is this feature coming to the postman? I am currently able to simulate this by using Postman in the browser without "Postman Desktop Agent" but, It will be great if it comes to Postman App. Note: Using a "Browser Agent" might give CORS error.

[vinaypwheelocity]

Waiting for this feature in 2023. Can we expect this in our lifetime.

[Ivanrenes]

2024 :P
