Testing with Postman

Postman is a platform for building and using APIs. It’s what our own engineers use to test our APIs during the development process. To make it easy for your developers to integrate us, we’re sharing our Postman environments and Postman collection.

Environments

In Postman, an environment is a set of one or more variables that you can reference when sending requests or writing test scripts. We have created separate environments for our sandbox and production servers to help you as you progress with your integration.

1. Copy the code for each environment

To setup each environment, simply copy the corresponding code below.

2. Import it into Postman using the raw text option

Go to Postman > File > Import
Paste in the text you copied and press ENTER to import the environment
