Websocket connections with postman

Question

I\'m using Postman to test an existing REST API. This API calls async functions on the server which return a response over a websocket using StompJS.

Is it possible

Answer 1

This is not possible as of May 2017, because Postman only works with HTTP methods such as POST, GET, PUT, DELETE.

P/S: There is a request for this if you want to upvote: github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/4009

Answer 2

Postman doesn't support websocket. Most of the extension and app I had ever seen were not working properly.

Solution which I found

Just login/ open your application in your browser, and open browser console. Then enter your socket event, and press enter.

socket.emit("event_name", {"id":"123"}, (res)=>{console.log(res); });

Answer 3

As the previous comment mentioned you can't do this in Postman. however, I found this Chrome app in the web store. It is very simple, but it's working really well with my local web socket connections.

Smart Websocket Client

Answer 4

You can use the tool APIC available here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/apic-complete-api-solutio/ggnhohnkfcpcanfekomdkjffnfcjnjam. This tool allows you to test websocket which use either StompJS or native Websocket. More info here at www.apic.app
