Postman, a API platform widely favored by developers, often necessitates the use of a proxy for certain tasks. This guide will lead you through configuring Postman API to integrate with the system proxy and operate smoothly in conjunction with OkeyProxy.
To set up a custom proxy for transmitting API requests using a proxy server other than your system proxy, follow these steps:
- OkeyProxy Settings
Register/Login on OkeyProxy Platform:Create a new account or log in to your existing one on the OkeyProxy platform.
Access Residential Proxies:Go to the dashboard and navigate to the “Residential Proxies” section. Choose “User Name Password” and then “Endpoint generator”.
Pick your desired country and state for the IP in the location section.
Specify the number of proxies required. Click on “generate” to obtain the proxy address, port, username, and password.
- Postman Settings
Click on the gear icon at the top right corner and select “Settings”.
Navigate to “Proxy”. Disable “Use system proxy” and enable “Use custom proxy configuration”.
Select HTTP and HTTPS as the “Proxy type”. Choosing both means both types of requests will pass through the proxy server.
Use the proxy address and port obtained from the OkeyProxy dashboard for the “Proxy server”.
Turn on “Proxy auth” and enter the username and password from your OkeyProxy endpoint generator.
Specify hosts to bypass the proxy settings in “Proxy Bypass”.
Close the window to complete the setup process. Ensure changes are saved successfully.
By following these steps, you can seamlessly integrate OkeyProxy into Postman for efficient usage.
