Proper API governance can help you deliver more consistent APIs. Join Postman Chief Evangelist (and governance fanatic) Kin Lane in this webinar to learn essential elements of API governance using Postman. Kin will show you how the OpenAPI Specification and Postman Collections can help you test the results of each API while you measure, standardize, report, and govern APIs at scale.
