I am using Postman to test some Curl requests to an API server. The API developers gave us the curl command, but I can't send it from the Postman. How to make such a request from the Postman?

curl -X POST "https://api-server.com/API/index.php/member/signin" -d "{"description":"","phone":"","lastname":"","app_version":"2.6.2","firstname":"","password":"my_pass","city":"","apikey":"213","lang":"fr","platform":"1","email":"[email protected]","pseudo":"example"}"

A simpler approach would be:

  1. Open POSTMAN
  2. Click on "import" tab on the upper left side.
  3. Select the Raw Text option and paste your cURL command.
  4. Hit import and you will have the command in your Postman builder!
  5. Click Send to post the command

Hope this helps!
