How to join Postman Supernovas in 2026 (paused: what to do instead)
How to become a Postman Supernova in 2026. Applications are paused. See Student Programs, the live listing on this site, and what to do instead.
Applications are paused
Postman Supernovas is paused. It is not accepting new applicants. Postman staff confirmed that on community threads. Third-party 2026 audits still mark it paused. There is no live apply form I can send you to.
What to do instead: read the listing on this site, use the Student Programs learning path Postman pointed people to, and keep teaching APIs in public. Watch the community if they reopen.
I run Ambassador Directory. I am a Cursor ambassador and a Raycast ambassador. I am not a Postman Supernova. The rule here is give and take: you organize events, teach APIs, and help other Postman users, and you get support for that work. If the deal is a tracking link, it is the wrong program.
This page is a how-to for a paused program. Do not send an application through this directory. We list programs. We do not take applications for them.
What they ask
Official intro framing: community leaders who host or speak at conferences, livestreams, workshops, hackathons, and meetups. Education and community-building. Help other Postman users.
The listing on this site asks for an active Postman user, community leadership and event organization, and API knowledge plus content creation. The listing describes leaders passionate about APIs and testing who organize meetups, share knowledge at workshops and events, and help educate the community.
I will not invent a follower count, event quota, or acceptance rate.
What you get
The exchange is support for the work, not a commission.
The listing on this site tags Access and Co-marketing. The official intro blog named the items below. I will not invent credits, cash, or a free plan.
- Postman sponsorship and support for events
- Special access to Postman events
- Shout-outs on Postman's social media
- The opportunity to join Postman's community advisory board
Not Student Programs
Postman pointed paused applicants to Student Programs. That is a learning path. It is not Supernovas.
Student Expert, Student Leader, and Classroom are student tracks. They are not this listing. This directory does not list those tracks.
The URL staff shared, https://www.postman.com/student-program/, now redirects to Postman's learning hub. Academy copy says the Student Program and the Student Expert course are sunsetted and closed for new completions. Do not treat that URL as a live Supernovas apply form.
This page is Supernovas only.
How to prepare, and what to do now
When the program was open, the official quickstart framed the path as: apply, meet the Technical Community Manager, complete training, publish a public profile and workspace, submit a contribution proposal (event, talk, blog, or video), then onboarding, badge, and Slack. That quickstart now 404s. I will not invent a current apply URL.
The old company page at https://www.postman.com/company/supernovas-program/ now redirects to the community forum. It is not an application form.
Official intro blog (still live): https://blog.postman.com/introducing-the-postman-supernovas-program/
Community: https://community.postman.com/
Student Programs URL they pointed people to: https://www.postman.com/student-program/ (now a learning hub, not an apply form)
Prepare the same way you would for any contribution-first program. Use Postman in public. Teach APIs. Organize or speak. Help people on the forum. If they reopen, that work is the ask on the listing.
Do not send an application through Ambassador Directory. We list programs. We do not take applications for them.
Related API and developer-tool programs
If you want a live contribution-first program in a similar API or developer-tools lane, these listings exist on this site. Apply on that company's official page, not through this directory.
If you want the perk buckets, start there. If you want a general apply path, start with how to get in. AWS Community Builders is the other how-to on this site for a closed window. Docker Captains is a live community-expert how-to.
