I am not well versed with API’s but have been learning with the help of professional services.  I was advised last week that Postman is severely limiting what the free version will be able to do vs runner jobs which require a premium subscription.  Are there other platforms, free, similar to Postman that allow for ‘runner’ jobs and bulk actions via API?

We have been using PowerAutomate. You have to create a custom connector, but this guide by Bfarkas was all I needed in order to set it up.

It isn’t perfect - there are some limitations within PowerAutomate that require you to think outside the box. It does do some nice bulk actions for us though - for instance pulling all Power Users and reporting what branches are assigned as a resource.

@rpannebaker I will look into that.  My needs for API’s with Postman are more for admin bulk course management, not so much enrollments or GET’s at this point.
