How to Send Requests from Scripts // Postman Pointers
Welcome to Dev Odyssey Postman Pointers - Postman best practices that improve your workflow. In this video, we're covering how to send requests in scripts using the sendRequest function in your Pre-Request Script, or Tests sections of your Postman Request. Refer to the links below for the sendRequest example in the Dev Odyssey's Public Workspace:

The sendRequest function in Postman lets you send any http(s) request before your main Postman Request or after your Postman Request.
This function is most commonly useful for obtaining authentication tokens, such as OAuth Bearer Tokens, but has many other applications. Anytime you need to get or send data using http(s), the sendRequest function will be your best companion.
You can also codify your scripts using the Postman SDK, and in this video I go over how to do that with the sendRequest function. This is a better way to write code, because it's more legible, improves compiler performance, and explains the full set of options and features explicitly.
