  • Exploring APIs via the Portal interface (making your first web call, seeing live responses)

2. Using Postman & other tools (for intermediate developers)

  • How to use Postman to connect to our APIs (step-by-step)
  • Importing endpoints via OpenAPI download
  • Tips for setting up your connections/testing

3. Using your app with our APIs (for hands-on coders)
