Postman is a great tool to test HTTP API endpoint calls. We recommend first using Postman to more easily diagnose issues.

Click the “Run in Postman” button to fork a version in Postman for the web:

After forking we recommend you download Postman for free and use locally. The desktop version is more reliable and has more features.

Be sure to set your Authorization: Bearer API_Key value or Profile Key in the header.

Also, set the environment variable of {API_Key} with your API_KEY.

Postman Tips

  • You can add a variable value, such as a global variable like API_KEY to make it easier to make your API calls in Postman. More details how to do this on the Postman site.
  • You can send an array as a variable in the Postman body set as x-www-form-urlencoded by setting the key with a [0] value. For example, to send a post, you can set the key platforms[0] to the first value and platforms[1] for the second value.

Test with Random Text and Images

We also recommend you test with random text and images so your accounts are not locked by the social networks.

Auto Generate API Code with Postman

You can even automatically generate code directly from Postman in most programming languages - Node.js, PHP, Python, C#, and more. See the video for details on how to use Postman and generate code.
