This repo provides a quick way to try out Postman Insights using the Demo Dogs service.
You’ll spin up a demo app, generate synthetic traffic, and stream telemetry to a Postman Insights project — all with a single command.
- Docker installed and running.
- A Postman account with access to Insights.
- A Postman API Key.
- Log into Postman.
- Either create a new Insights project, or walk through our demo workflow to set up one quickly.
- Copy the Service ID for your project. You can find it by clicking on any of the tech stacks shown during onboarding — the ID will be prefixed with
svc_
.
Provide your Service ID and Postman API Key inline with the command and run the script via curl
:
SERVICE_ID="svc_123456789" \
POSTMAN_API_KEY="pmk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
APP_PORT_HOST=8000 \
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/postmanlabs/insights-demo/main/run.sh)"
