performing-api-security-testing-with-postman
Uses Postman to build structured API security test collections covering the OWASP API Security Top 10—authentication bypass, authorization flaws, injection, and data exposure—with multi-role environments, automated test scripts, and OWASP ZAP/Newman integration for CI/CD. Use when building repeatable Postman-based API security regression tests or automating OWASP API Top 10 coverage in a pipeline.

# Performing API Security Testing with Postman
## When to Use
- Building repeatable API security test suites for OWASP API Security Top 10 coverage
- Creating automated security regression tests that run in CI/CD pipelines via Newman
- Testing API authentication and authorization across multiple user roles systematically
- Integrating Postman with OWASP ZAP proxy for combined manual and automated security testing
- Establishing a baseline security test collection for new API endpoints before deployment
**Do not use** against production APIs without authorization. Postman security testing involves sending potentially malicious payloads.
## Prerequisites
- Postman Desktop or web application with an active workspace
