});This script uses Node.js with the node-fetch library to call the Postman API.
First, it reads environment variables for the API key, collection UID, and optionally environment UID.
It sends a POST request to create a monitor with the specified name, collection, and schedule.
It checks the response status is 201 (created) and verifies the monitor name and schedule in the response.
Then it sends a GET request to list all monitors and confirms the newly created monitor is present.
Errors are thrown if any assertion fails, causing the script to exit with failure.
This approach uses async/await for clear asynchronous code and environment variables for sensitive data.
