Postman | Capture API Calls With a Proxy

The Postman proxy helps you debug your application by capturing HTTP traffic and creating a collection that can be shared with users, or to create documentation, mock servers or scrape data.
NOTE: the satellite icon to "capture requests" is now in the footer of the packaged app for Mac, Windows, or Linux.

I want to use this tool to intercept local API calls. I host a client and an API on the same PC and I want to know what API calls happene between this Client and the API. Can I use this functionality to record that? I've read the documentation but I'm still unsure and I haven't been able to get it to work so far.

I want to intercept the desktop application, which interacts with Web internally when some icons are clicked. How can I intercept the api calls of the desktop app using Postman?

How do I do the same thing from Android or iPhone ?

[@postman]

There's a blog post about this here, while the principle is still the same the instructions might be a bit out of date! blog.postman.com/using-postman-proxy-to-capture-and-inspect-api-calls-from-ios-or-android-devices/

How do I do it on windows?

The Postman docs has instructions for setting up the proxy on various OS: learning.postman.com/docs/getting-started/proxy/
