  1. Generate a base64 encoding of your API token

    Get your API token (see the guide here) and use a tool like base64encode to convert your API token to base64 format. The format of the text you're going to encode is <API token>:X.

    For example:

    b3288678ba5a1b81a504e2921b4ed96b9eacb561:X

    and the base64 format should be:

    YjMyODg2NzhiYTVhMWI4MWE1MDRlMjkyMWI0ZWQ5NmI5ZWFjYjU2MTpY

  2. In Postman, make a new request

    You can create a new request from a workspace, by using New > HTTP, or by selecting + to open a new tab.

  3. Select your request type

    Choose whether GET, POST, PUT or DELETE.

  4. Enter the URL

    Enter the URL of the API endpoint you want to make a request from.

  5. Configure headers for your API request

    Under the Headers tab, add a Key and Value for Postman to send as headers. Click "Key", enter the header name (e.g., Authorization) then, Click "Value", enter the header value (e.g., Basic base64_token). The main headers you will need are:

    1. Authorization - the value of this header should be Basic base64_token, where base64_token is the base64 encoded token you generated from #1.

    2. Accept - the value of this header can be application/json or application/xml depending on what format of the response you prefer.

    3. Content-type - the value of this header can be application/json or application/xml depending on what format of the response you prefer.

    For example:

  6. Enter the request body

    If your request method requires a body, go to the Body tab and select raw. Enter the request body in JSON or XML format.

  7. Click Send
