We've been there. You need to execute a postman collection asap, but you're away from your desktop. You try the mobile web browser, but it's just not cutting it! Meet Cosmo, Postman's best friend. Cosmo integrates with your Postman account, giving you access to your Postman content on the go. Features include: ** Integration via API key. The key is store securely on your own device, and never leaves. ** Access all of your collections, across all workspaces. ** Modify collection and environment variables locally. ** Configure full or partial collection runs with support for nested folders. ** Or, trigger individual endpoint requests. ** View responses, complete with pass / fail test results. ** Pre and post request scripts will run seamlessly, and update local variable state. There are some tricks Cosmo hasn't learned yet: ** Create, edit, or delete collections and/or requests. ** Save variable modifications to the Postman servers. Only the local instances are updated. ** Team management. No inviting new members, managing members, etc. If you would like to see a new feature, just ask!
