Running battery of tests in postman

Is it possible to run many requests in a postman script; I have an endpoint:

http://localhost/gadgets/{id}/buy

Which sets a flag in a gadget object/entry given its id. I have hundreds of gadgets. Is it possible to have a shared file of ids that I can create requests from and run them independently?

https://learning.postman.com/docs/running-collections/intro-to-collection-runs/

and

https://learning.postman.com/docs/writing-scripts/intro-to-scripts/

don't seem to do this.

Edit:

data.json:

{
"gadget_ids":
            [
                "8f338a25-c52a-4c47-9d5f-69a6c48c24f2",
                "32461687-530e-4730-86c4-00fa4c284cd9",
                "913ab956-b89d-41a2-9c09-0a970e202440",
                "55c30784-3ad1-4a4e-a781-51a6f0f2fa42"
            ],
"users_ids":
            [
                "4b1c6bc3-d44d-492b-8360-d5076913578b",
                "db0722e7-3224-4db1-8a94-372ab462ae70",
                "8d0f87f1-6697-4e08-8ddd-0e34e2015787",
                "9d788283-87a9-4c38-8d48-30ddc1604058",
                "8a86b353-df4c-40fd-a5a1-cfa5f27c41c4",
                "a67485e5-fb13-4863-ab55-01fd58c2600f",
                "3ab7211d-99e7-4cc6-a862-ac106c2a24de",
                "378b2e77-7e18-4d75-b780-c9281b86c8ee",
                "df1e35ca-37c5-4026-aa59-ebc02e348fdf",
                "2e0aadab-efe2-42e5-9088-c0bb1c6c9631"
            ]           
}

gives a something went wrong error while importing. Apparently, it's expecting an array but the JSON structure is not mentioned anywhere.

The Collection Runner is what you're looking for. You can provide the different IDs via a data file (either CSV or JSON format).

It's described in detail here: https://learning.postman.com/docs/running-collections/working-with-data-files/
