Why use Postman?
Installing Postman
Postman can be downloaded from https://www.postman.com/downloads/
Quick start
Let’s quickly get setup in Postman to test a DevPortal provided API.
- Open Postman
- Click the New button that is next to the column My Workspace
- Choose HTTP from the list of available options
- You will then see that GET is current HTTP option selected. For this first operation we will use a GET call.
- Set the URL to https://dp-mockaco.azurewebsites.net/BOOK/staff-api/schools/434972/staffpersonals This is for the API call /staff-api/schools/{zoneId}/staffpersonals within the category Booking System.
- Within the Header tab add a value name x-api-key with the value from your “My Applications” value.
- Next click Execute to send the request you have constructed to the server and after some seconds you should see some JSON returned from the server as a response.
