Postman on API Status CheckWhat happens when Postman goes down?
Collection sync not working
When Postman's sync service is degraded, collection changes don't propagate between the desktop app, web app, and teammates — you may see stale or outdated requests.
Login and authentication failures
Postman authentication service outages prevent users from signing in to the desktop app or web interface, locking teams out of their API collections.
API monitor alerts not running
Postman API monitors may fail to run scheduled tests or deliver alert notifications during platform incidents, causing missed regressions.
Workspace loading errors
Team workspaces may fail to load, show empty collections, or return 503 errors when Postman's backend services are degraded.
Manage Your API Keys Securely
Stop storing API keys in Postman environments or sharing credentials in Slack. 1Password secures all your API keys, environment variables, and test credentials — with team access controls and no accidental exposure risk.

- 1
Check status.postman.com first
Postman's status page breaks down incidents by service: Sync, Authentication, Monitoring, and the Web App. Identify which component is affected before troubleshooting locally.
- 2
Try the Postman web app
If the desktop app is failing, try web.postman.co — or vice versa. Issues isolated to one client may indicate a local installation problem rather than a platform outage.
- 3
Sign out and back in
If sync is broken, signing out and back in can force a fresh authentication token and trigger a re-sync of your workspaces.
- 4
Export collections as a backup
During sync issues, export your collections as JSON files to preserve your work locally and avoid losing changes if the sync conflict worsens.
- 5
Check Postman's community forum
The Postman Community forum (community.postman.com) often has real-time reports from other users during outages before the status page is updated.
What is Postman's current status?

Real-time alerts and integrations

What can I do during a Postman outage?
Use your local Postman collection export
If Postman Cloud is down, your locally cached workspace is still accessible in the desktop app. Continue testing with local data and sync when the service recovers.
Try Insomnia or Bruno for API testing
Open-source alternatives like Insomnia and Bruno work fully offline and can import Postman collection exports — useful during extended Postman outages.
Use curl or HTTPie for quick requests
For urgent API testing, curl or HTTPie can execute any request without Postman. Use your exported collection as a reference for endpoint details.
Monitor recovery via API Status Check
Set up alerts on API Status Check to get notified the moment Postman recovers from an outage.

Frequently asked questions about Postman status
Is Postman down right now?
Check status.postman.com and API Status Check for independent monitoring. Look at the Sync, Authentication, and Monitoring components — degradation in any of these affects team collaboration and API testing.
Is Postman down for everyone or just me?
To determine if Postman is down for everyone or just you: check status.postman.com for active incidents across components like Sync, Auth, and Monitoring. Search Reddit's r/postman or Twitter/X for reports from other users. Try the Postman web app if you're using the desktop client (or vice versa). If cloud sync is failing for all your collections and your teammates report the same issue, it's a platform-wide outage.
Why is Postman not syncing my collections?
Collection sync failures can be caused by Postman sync service outages, authentication token expiry, or network connectivity issues. Check status.postman.com first, then try signing out and back in.
Why can't I log in to Postman?
Postman login failures during outages indicate the authentication service is degraded. Check status.postman.com for Authentication component status. If the platform is operational, verify your credentials and try resetting your password.
How long do Postman outages typically last?
Most Postman incidents resolve within 30-60 minutes. Sync-related issues sometimes take longer as affected workspaces need to re-sync after the service recovers.
Can I still use Postman offline during an outage?
Yes — the Postman desktop app caches your workspace locally. You can continue testing APIs offline, but changes won't sync to teammates until the service recovers.
How do I get Postman outage alerts?
Subscribe to alerts on API Status Check to receive real-time notifications when Postman has an incident — so your team knows immediately when API testing is disrupted.
