For example, image, audio or video files. Normally, you would be sending XML or JSON data here.īinary data allows you to send things which you can not enter in Postman. You can set the Content-Type header manually as well. The raw editor lets you set the formatting type along with the correct header that you should send with the raw body. Whatever you put in the text area gets sent with the request. Postman doesn't touch the string entered in the raw editor except replacing environment variables.
There might be some confusion between form-data and urlencoded so make sure to check with your API first.Ī raw request can contain anything. Note that you can not upload files through this encoding mode. You just need to enter key/value pairs and Postman will encode the keys and values properly. This encoding is the same as the one used in URL parameters. You would have to select the file again at the time of sending a request. Do note that due to restrictions of the HTML5 spec, files are not stored in history or collections. The form-data editor lets you set key/value pairs (using the key-value editor) for your data. This simulates filling a form on a website, and submitting it. Multipart/form-data is the default encoding a web form uses to transfer data.
The body editor is divided into 4 areas and has different controls depending on the body type. Postman lets you send almost any kind of HTTP request (If you can't send something, let us know!). While constructing requests, you would be dealing with the request body editor a lot.
