Introducing Postman Datasets
Available on Solo, Team, and Enterprise plans
Postman Datasets are managed groups of structured data that live inside your workspace, designed to power realistic, repeatable, and scalable API testing. Create a dataset once and reuse it across collection runs, monitors, performance tests, mock servers, scripts, and Flows. It works in the Postman app, the Postman CLI, and CI environments.
Each dataset pulls from one or more sources and exposes views: saved SQL queries that select, filter, join, and transform fields for a specific test. Solo plans support CSV, JSON, and Excel file sources, including AI-assisted generation. Team and Enterprise plans can also connect to live databases, like MySQL and PostgreSQL. Enterprise plans additionally support custom JDBC drivers for many JDBC-compatible databases. Databases that aren’t publicly exposed are reachable over an SSH tunnel, and connection details can be stored as vault secrets in Postman Vault.
Agent Mode understands the datasets and views in your workspace. It uses your real field names when writing requests, tests, and scripts. You can describe the data you need so Agent Mode generates realistic test data for you.
