You are all set! Head over to the Postman app, and you will start seeing the network calls listed under the History tab of the sidebar. Set the proxy IP address of your device (an iPhone in this example) to the IP address you obtained from your system and port 5555. Set the port with the port you established in Postman in Step 1. Set the IP address with the IP you retrieved from your computer in the second step.

Open the wireless settings of your mobile device and update the configuration of the wireless connection to use HTTP Proxy. Step 3: Configure HTTP proxy on your mobile device The IP address of your system will be something like the example here 192.168.0.101. On OS X, the computer’s IP address can be found in System Preferences > Network. This will cause all your requests to be captured and stored in the History sidebar panel. In this case, let’s keep it at the default port 5555. Keep a note of the port mentioned in the proxy settings. Open the PROXY SETTINGS modal in the Postman app (MacOS) by clicking the icon in the header toolbar. To get started, make sure your computer and mobile are connected to the same local wireless network. In this tutorial, we will use Postman’s proxy feature to inspect HTTP communication going out from your phone. In this scenario, the Postman app is the proxy, and you can inspect HTTP communication going out from your phone like in the following example, and log all network requests under the History tab of the sidebar. Similar to the Interceptor Chrome extension, the Postman app proxy also INTERCEPTS and captures your requests. The server returns a response through the Postman proxy back to the client.The Postman proxy captures the request and forwards the request onward to the server.
The Postman app listens for any calls made by the client app or device.Postman has a proxy in the Postman app that captures the HTTP request. You can use the built-in proxy in the Postman native apps or use the Interceptor extension for the Postman Chrome app. Postman gives you tools to see and capture this network traffic easily. In some cases, you might discover APIs that are not even documented.
If you are using APIs to build client-side applications - mobile apps, websites or desktop applications - you might want to see the actual HTTP request traffic that is being sent and received in the application.
