Postman

Getting Started with Postman Collections

You can use our Postman collection to easily test and play around with our APIs

Download Postman and the Sayari collection

• First download the Postman Client , or try the web version.
• Then download our Postman collection. (Right-click and “Save As” to download)

Import the collection

• Create a workspace in Postman
• Locate the import option inside it
• Drag and drop the collection.json file
  

Review the collection

• You should now see the collection and Sayari endpoints in your workspace
• Each endpoint contains defaults you can test, however before they work we need to setup authentication
  

Setup Postman environment and variables

• Navigate to environments
• Use global, or create an environment of your choice
• Add two variables: client_id and client_secret and enter the credentials you have received from Sayari
• If you don’t have credentials, reach out to your account representative
  

Make an auth request, and copy the bearer token

• Set your client_id and client_secret variables in the body of Auth: Get Token Request
• Hit send
• Copy the access_token
  

Set the token variable

• Go to the API collection, navigate to variables and paste the access_token as the initial value and current value for token
• Once the token expires (24 hours), you will need to repeat this step
  

Make your first request!

• Now that authentication is setup, navigate to the endpoint of your choice
• Modify parameters as desired
• Review payloads and responses
