Hi Valentin. Thank you very much for this introduction to Postman! It was a lot of new stuff to learn, but I'm sure it will be worth it. I work on a project to visualize hockey stats from the NHL and they are provided by Sportsradar which has a separate workspace on Postman. After this course I feel more confident to use their API. There is one question that came up towards the end of this course. When running the monitor manually in the video, it fails because the initial value of the accessToken was not present. You then copied the value from CURRENT VALUE to INITIAL VALUE and the monitor then ran without error. Is it safe, to set the accessToken to the INITIAL VALUE for the monitor? Won't it be exposed to the public in that case? Again, thanks, and have a good time. Regards Markus

Thank you for such an amazing video with a ton of information!
For lesson 23, I used const jsonData instead of response because response is already a part of pm.response. Also, const booksAvailable would be better than const nonFictionBooks because we are already filtering the genre in the parameters. That way we can check both fiction and non fiction without changing variable names.
const jsonData = pm.response.json();-
const booksAvailable = jsonData.filter((book) => book.available === true);-
const book = booksAvailable[0];
Thanks -

Thank you very much, that is really useful course. If I had such wonderful tutorial a couple of years before, my life would have been easier, definitely. Now I'm stuck by the test collections and newman using, as they are described by you. I have a couple of questions, how I can contact you via Discord?

Excellent Beginners course Valentin. This has helped me gained more knowledge on features I was not aware of and helped solidify the existing knowledge I did have. You presented this in a way that was logical and easy to understand. I will be looking for more of your videos.

Hi Valentin, Thanks for a great tutorial. I'll certainly be looking out for more of yours.
I have one problem. My token only lasts for one request and then gives the error -Invalid bearer token.- Any idea of what I am doing wrong? Cheers Rob

Question: When getting token, after a while does it expire? Because mine keep's telling me : [ -error-: -Invalid bearer token.- ]. As I saw your course, yours didn't ask for another token registration, so please, can you clarify this?

Not what I was looking for. Didn't help me put letters in letterboxes at all. Now I've had to leave my job which I loved (because of the walking) and had to become a Software Engineer and I'm stuck at working at home all day. Disliked.

While going through this i constantly keep getting -error-: -Invalid bearer token.- which the instructor is not getting. Anyone know why this might be? I have to keep re-registering my clientName & clientEmail to create a new token

Next time if u r giving tutorials never ever use dark theme, it's too difficult to read in a dark theme rather than white background with letters written in black which is easily readable and pleasent to eye.
