send batch request to Postman

To send a batch request in Postman, you can use a feature called **Postman Collections** or utilize the **Postman Runner**. Here’s how to achieve that:

### Method 1: Using Collection Runner

1. **Create a Collection:**
   - Open Postman.
   - Click on the **Collections** tab in the left sidebar.
   - Click on the **+ New Collection** button.
   - Name your collection (e.g., "Batch Requests") and provide a description if necessary.

2. **Add Requests to the Collection:**
   - For each request you want to batch, click on your new collection and then hit the **Add Request** button.
   - Configure your request by adding the URL, method (GET, POST, etc.), headers, body, etc.
   - Save the request.

3. **Using the Collection Runner:**
   - Click on the **Runner** button (usually located at the top left).
   - Select your collection from the dropdown.
   - Choose how many iterations you want to run (if using variable data).
   - Click **Run**.
   - Postman will send each request in the collection in sequence and display the results.

### Method 2: Using Postman with Batch Requests via the Body

If you want to send multiple requests in a single call (using an API that supports batch requests), you can structure your request body accordingly.

1. **Create a New Request:**
   - Click on **New** > **Request**.
   - Select a method (POST is common for batch processing).
   - In the body, choose **raw** and set the type to **JSON**.

2. **Structure Your JSON:**
   - Create a JSON object that represents the batch requests. For example:
   ```json
   {
     "requests": [
       {
         "method": "GET",
         "path": "/api/resource1"
       },
       {
         "method": "POST",
         "path": "/api/resource2",
         "body": { "key": "value" }
       }
     ]
   }
   ```

   Adjust the JSON structure and endpoints according to the API you are working with.

3. **Send the Request:**
   - Click the **Send** button. This will send the batch request to the API.

### Tips
- Ensure your API endpoint supports batch requests. Not all APIs have this feature.
- You might need to manage authentication tokens or other headers if the requests require them.
- If your batch requests include different HTTP methods, ensure that they are properly structured.

### Conclusion
Using Postman, you can either send multiple requests in succession using the Collection Runner or format a single request to handle batch processing depending on your API's capabilities.
