In this video, I demonstrate how to use Postman, a free API development and testing tool, to format URL’s and make requests against web endpoints and use those URL’s to get data in PowerShell. I also give a quick walk through of viewing the data in PowerShell.

* The “mn” value was ignored and only the city was used by the API in the recording. I did not get “city, state” to work after recording this video. In the end, I used zip codes instead of the city name to pull weather data.
