# Write the Docs Podcast episode 13: Postman for API development and docs — Interview with Postman Founder
- You can embed [Run in Postman buttons](https://www.getpostman.com/docs/postman_for_publishers/run_button/creating_run_button) that contain collections of requests that users can load in their own Postman clients (perfect for getting started tutorials).

 - You can collaborate with engineers on the requests and documentation by syncing collections across a team account (see [Postman Pro](https://www.getpostman.com/docs/pro/what_is_pro)).

 - You can [import your OpenAPI specification file](https://www.getpostman.com/docs/postman/collections/data_formats) directly into Postman and have it populate a collection with the spec’s endpoints.

 - With just a few clicks, you can also publish and host your documentation through Postman, complete with code samples in multiple programming languages.

 - Check out [Postman’s API Network](https://www.getpostman.com/api-network/) to see many ways different companies use Postman in their documentation.
