Postman Sells API Tooling but Still Makes You Click Generate API Key

calendar_today July 10, 2026 domain programmableweb

I keep coming back to the same wall, and this week it has Postman’s name on it. I have spent years saying that onboarding is the part of an API that breaks first under load, and now we have agents trying to onboard themselves at machine speed against systems designed for a human with a mouse. The contradiction writes itself, but I’ll write it down anyway: a lot of the loudest “we are all in on AI” companies still require a person to log into a web app, find the right settings panel, and prove they are human before they can get a single credential.
