We have an external application that is behind the firewall. So we have installed MID server to establish the integration.
Now we need to test the API using Postman but we can't as the application/api is behind firewall and can't use mid server in postman.
Are there alternatives/solution for api testing outside servicenow?

I don't know why testing team can't test it using Rest message
They might be checking some functionality which will trigger that REST message and based on the response they can validate if it works fine or not
If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Your MID server is the connection between SN and the application. Why test it outside of ServiceNow, since you are using it to integrate with ServiceNow?
Just ignoring the question that is asked and replying with 'Anyone?' will get you the same question you didn't answer before.
Please mark any helpful or correct solutions as such. That helps others find their solutions.

Hello Mark, I am not sure if you are seeing any "OPEN" question on this thread which I am not able to see. I have responded to all the questions if anyone has asked me.
I have already replied that its our 'testing team requirement' to test the web services outside the respective two tools that is involved.
In the past when we used ServiceNow, we saw slowness in API response. They told its because of ServiceNow's MID server. To rule that out, we they had to check if it was the same result outside. Like this many such issues occurred. Hence, our dedicated testing team test rigorously, all cases end to end.
