Postman basics
Postman is a toolset for API testing. It is a development environment that lets you create, test, manage, and publish API documentation.
Working with requests in Postman consists of the following general stages:
- Adding a request
- Setting up the request
- Executing the request
- Saving the request
A collection of requests lets you execute several requests consecutively. Any collection of requests to Creatio must include a POST request to AuthService.svc and a user request for working with data. Using collections facilitates faster testing of large sets of requests.
Working with collections of requests in Postman consists of the following general stages:
- Adding a collection of requests
- Adding requests to the collection
- Setting up variables for the request collection
- Executing the collection of requests
We recommend using Postman for testing queries when developing integrations with Creatio via OData 3 or OData 4. More information about working with Postman is available in the Postman documentation.
