Transfer Agent

Facilitate Data/File Transfer and Test services between local and Remote using various protocols (SFTP,...) thru POSTMAN ecosystem

Comment

Inspiration

  • integrates different API services (Postman, SFTP,...) to participate to the POSTMAN API challenge

What it does

  • facilitates automatic data/file transfer between local and remote using various protocols (SFTP,...) and managed thru POSTMAN tools (workspace, collection, mock, documentation,...)

How we built it

  • define and organize API requests within POSTMAN collections
  • collaborate with comments exchange within POSTMAN collaboration module
  • configure environment variables with POSTMAN Environment module
  • test the API requests using POSTMAN desktop agent
  • configure testing with POSTMAN mock-server module
  • document API using POSTMAN document tool
  • monitor with POSTMAN monitor tool, which sends mail notification on errors

Challenges we ran into

  • make POSTMAN monitor successfully the service due to systematic errors "NETERR: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND" at the beginning. Finally the correct fix has been found and applied to avoid the errors

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • implement the API with all POSTMAN integrated tools (workspace, collections, document, monitor, collaboration, mock-server, ...)

What we learned

  • POSTMAN integrated tools (workspace, collections, environment document, collaboration, monitoring, mock-server, ...)

What's next for Transfer Agent

  • Adapt the transfer agent service on Dropbox
