Postman feature parity checklist This doc enumerates Postman's feature surface and maps each item to
Scrapeman's status: done , in-progress , planned (with milestone
and task IDs), or out-of-scope (with reason).
Scrapeman's north star is Postman's paid features for free plus scrape-do
native proxying. We intentionally skip cloud-only features (sync, team
workspaces, mock servers, monitors, docs hosting) and non-API features
(API design, schema editor, Flows).

v1.5
Explicit non-goals. Each would be substantial work without clear value for
our scrape-do-focused audience.
Feature
Reason
Cloud accounts / team sync
Git handles sharing; no backend to run
Mock servers
Distinct product; scrape-do customers don't need it
Monitors / scheduled runs
Cloud-only model
API documentation hosting
Different product
API design editor (schema)
Different product
Postman Flows
Low-code flows belong in v2 if at all
Pre/post scripts (JS sandbox)
30% scope bloat; variable + chaining cover 80%
Browser extension / interceptor
Different trust model, separate project
Mobile client
Different platform, not our audience
WebSocket / gRPC / SSE dedicated UIs
v2 if demand
HTTP/3 (QUIC)
Node has no stable h3; revisit post-stable
NTLM / Hawk / Akamai auth
Niche, can be added if customers ask
Newman CLI equivalent in-app
Covered by collection runner v1.5
