I am using the Postman Collection Runner to automate a series of API calls. On one of these API calls I need to submit a binary file as the body of a POST. When setting up the Collection Runner I see how to select a file, but I can't figure out how to attach that file to the body of the POST request in the "Pre-request Script".
Is it possible in a "Pre-request Script" to load a binary file into the "data" object?
Currently postman collection runner doesn't support file uploads.
You will have to use newman to execute your Automation Test Suite(collection).
Have a look at this answer:

I want to use Postman to test an operation in my web API that accepts an Excel file.
How can I make a file available in a Postman test?
The file in question is around 10-50kb.
One way is to base64-encode it and store it as a variable, I can then use atob to get it back.
The second option is to store the file somewhere and use pm.sendRequest to download it (github, public s3 bucket, something else?)
The third option is to change my web API to either act as a file-server and vend the test files I need for testing.
I would prefer to just have an option to load the file from disk, but I don't think Postman javascript sandbox has an API to load files.
I am trying to upload a file to the Shared Documents library of my SharePoint website. The files are of type PDF and HTML. I am running a Cold Fusion development environment and using CFHTTP commands to execute HTTP requests. I have been able push a POST command and a PUT command to the proper endpoints listed on this link below:
Link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-createuploadsession?view=graph-rest-1.0#best-practices
I do not understand why but the first section that mentions the HTTP requests for creating an upload session is different than what was used in the example a little further. For my project, I am using the endpoint:
"/{variables.instance.microsoftGraphAPIURL}/drive/root:/{item-path}:/createUploadSession"
P.S. variables.instance.microsoftGraphAPIURL is a variable to a microsoft graph endpoint to our Sharepoint website
With better luck using PUT commands than POST commands for creating an Upload Session. I am able to receive an uploadURL, but the issue comes with trying to upload the file. For the file upload, I am trying to upload a file in the same directory with a file size of 114992 bytes. I keep getting "The Content-Range header length does not match the provided number of bytes." whenever I run my Put command to upload the file.
Thus, my Content-Range is "bytes 0-114991/114992" and my Content-Length is "114992". For the image below, I replaced the file with a pdf, but the original file was an HTML page at 114992 bytes. I want to use a resumable upload session to have one function for uploading image, HTML, and PDF files.
If anyone could tell me if there is an issue with my content headers or my upload session http request or anything else that is causing my issue, that would be amazing! Thank you.
I have an API endpoint that accepts multipart/form-data file upload. I managed to upload a local file to it with Postman using the File option as below:
Now how can I upload a file that is hosted at a given URL using Postman without manually downloading it and then selecting its filename as in the above screenshot? I'm hoping to somehow GET the URL, store the binary data, and upload to the endpoint, all within a Postman collection.
One of the answers from Postman community issue:
Using Postman’s pre-request script:
Download the content from URL
Convert it to binary
Assign the binary value to a dynamic variable
Use the variable within your request
I'm trying to upload files to AWS S3 using Newman for backend automation tests.
But I don't how I can do it, because the only working way which I found is using the binary body type with selected local fie on my Desktop in the PUT request.
There are two requests for this:
The first request gets for us pre-signed URL:
Step 1
The second PUT request using for uploading the files:
Step 2
But could you help me: which decision for Newman? Because of binary files is not valid in this case.
We can use "send and download" option in Postman to download a response file. Do we have any option or command to download a file(eg excel) using Newman command in newman's current working directory?
you may have a look at: https://www.npmjs.com/package/newman#newman-run-collection-file-source-options.
You can use reporters :
add:
-r json
then add
--reporter-json-export <path/file.json>
in your newman run command options and it will output a json report file.
If you want other formats, check the other reporters (html, junit and cli) with their respective options.
warning: dont put spaces when you set them (ie. -r cli,json,html)

There is not currently any way to download the JSON response body to a file outside of Postman. The reporters available for Newman only give the results of the collection query and tests, but do not include the body response of the original GET request.
Looks like it is not there as of this comment

A workaround is available in this bug, that might be useful !
