Offering a real-time interaction environment, the Postman Console allows you to monitor network requests, track responses, and effortlessly inspect variables. Developers can now easily test and troubleshoot their APIs directly within the comfort of the VS Code. We have made sure to leverage the native interface so that users can check the Postman Console in the same panel where they check their debugging console or the terminal in VS Code.
