How to set a session id in Postman

This post is bit old but I want to still answer incase someone else is looking for an answer.

First, you need to see if intercepter is enabled in the toolbar, it is present one step away from sign-in

If does not not get enabled when you click on it, you can install extension. I think there is one for Chrome. Go ahead and add the extension.

After that you can go back to Postman and enable intercepter

You will be able to see cookies in postman and at this point you can add _session_id

I hope this will help.

Thanks,


In Postman native app:

  • Turn on the Interceptor.
  • Go to Headers
  • Key: Cookie
  • Value : sessionid=omuxrmt33mnetsfirxi2sdsfh4j1c2kv
