Postman Azure Service Bus

Introduction

In my main job I interact with Azure Service Bus queues very often. Usually when I need to build services to send and receive from a queue, I build the "sender" or "receiver" first and have difficulties testing. The Azure Portal has a decent UI called an explorer, but it is extremely simple and doesn't support everything I need. With this Postman collection you can now create, edit, delete queues and then send, receive, peek, and unlock messages.

What it does

These collections handles three main things:

1. Azure authentication using a device code method and access tokens
2. Almost all of the REST operations supported for service bus queues including:
   • Create queue
   • Update queue
   • Get queue(s) details
   • Delete queue
   • Send queue message
   • Send queue messages (bulk)
   • Peek queue message
   • Receive and delete message
   • Unlock message
3. Run a Postman Monitor for listening to a queue's complimentary deadletter queue
   • Fail Postman Test and report error of deadletter reason
