This document discusses how Postman can help orchestrate API programs. It notes that as APIs become more abundant, managing them can become complex. Postman offers API Builder to help organize APIs, environments, tests, and versions. It allows maintaining multiple API versions, managing permissions and roles, and ensuring collaboration. Postman also offers roles and permissions to help admins properly manage APIs and set up roles for effective development and maintenance of API programs.

4. Why Orchestrate Your API Program?
● APIs are becoming more abundant within each company; there are
many internal microservices and external APIs that are being used in
conjunction with each other.
● Managing all of these together can be quite complex.
● It can be difficult to test and visualize how to integrate different APIs
and microservices, which leads to outdated APIs and unclear
documentation.

5. How Can Postman Help?
● Postman has an API Builder feature that helps wrangle in all the APIs,
environments, tests, and versions that your team or organization
utilizes.
● Maintain multiple versions of an API, manage ownership and
permissions, and ensure seamless collaboration within the
organization with a single source of truth.
● For the admins, you need to be able to properly manage each API
and set up roles.

6. Taking Ownership of Your API Program

developing and maintaining your API
Postman has a variety of roles and permissions, so
