SailPoint ISC - Use Postman Workspace / Collections without Logging in

Identity Security Cloud (ISC) ISC Discussion and Questions

Hi all,

My team is getting Postman set up to work with SailPoint ISC API Endpoints by following this guide: Postman Collections | SailPoint Developer Community . The issue that we’re running into now is that we likely will not be able create a Postman account to log into the Postman website due to client’s security requirements.

Postman has made logging in with a Postman account required to be able to set up Workspaces and save Collections since around 2023 when Scratch Pad was deprecated per a blog post I read.

Our environment setup will be:

  • Use VS Code as the IDE
  • Install VS Code extension, SailPoint Identity Security Cloud (https://blog.postman.com/announcing-new-lightweight-postman-api-client/) developed by yannick
  • From some quick research, it seems like there are a few other VS Code extensions that allow the usage of setting up Workspace, Collections, and Environment variables without needing to log in. Some notable I saw were:
    • Bruno
    • Thunder Client
    • EchoAPI

My question here, for those with the same restrictions (ie, unable to log a Postman account) but would like to set up Workspaces / Collections / Environment variables, what do you guys do?

Thank you all in advance.

For such scenarios, I use the Thunder Client extension within VS Code. It’s available on the VS Code Marketplace to download, just like you would’ve downloaded the SailPoint ISC extensions. Thunder Client is a lightweight alternative to Postman, offering a similar UI and options. The only caveat is that if you want to use collections and workspaces, those features are part of the paid version. Otherwise, for general API calls just like Postman, its a good alternative.
