Our team at Postman is working towards the open launch of Live Insights. Today, the alpha launch focuses on the Live Collections Agent (LCA), which passively watches your API traffic to automatically populate a Postman Collection with API endpoints. Within 15 minutes of installing the Live Collections Agent in staging or production, you’ll start to see endpoints in your collection. The Live Collections Agent will keep these endpoints up to date based on new observed traffic.

API discovery is just the beginning of what we plan to offer. Akita users are familiar with the ability to explore API models based on error, latency, and volume.

We’re hoping you will try out the new features and give us your feedback to help us continue tailoring the product to your needs.
