Setting up Postman for testing GrowthZone API's

Postman is used in for testing that the API created is working and helping figure out API calls

You can get Postman from this site you will be required to setup a username and password.

If you are a Part of Websupport we have a Group created with a number of prebuilt API calls that you can request to get access to if you do not already.

Otherwise here is the process for creating an API call for Either Chamber Master or GrowthZone.

GrowthZone

1 Open Postman and click on the Collections option if you are not in it already

2 If this is the first time you have used Postman you might want to create a New Collection by clicking the + icon and naming it something like GrowthZone or ChamberMaster

3. Then add a new request to the Collection

or

4 Name the request something

5 Grab the URL of database to use as the endpoint and add it to the main API field

6 Add the Call you are going to use to the end of the Endpoint in this case we are going to pull all contacts

7 Get the API Key from the Database in Setup > Under Applications API Key Permissions

Also Keep in mind most of the time we should be testing API calls with our test database.
