What if I tell you can run Postman collection inside Github Actions and so easily automate all the things as long as they provide APIs? Sounds interesting right? So let me show you how I migrated my Jekyll blog publication workflow to Github Actions and how I used Postman collection to clear my Cloudflare cache. Bonus: You may also learn a few things about DX and API design.

Do you need to make a repetitive task that could be done through an API instead of a UI? Do you need to make many API calls but don’t want to code? This post is made for you: you’ll learn to use Postman and CSV files to batch API calls. You may also learn a thing or two about API design, Github APIs (yes, plural) and other Postman features (variables, security, command line, visualizer, …) in the making. If you never have used Postman or Github APIs, no problem, everything will be explained.
