Getting started with the Postman collection

1. Import the Postman collection to your local copy of Postman.

2. Add your store credentials as the values for the corresponding Postman environment variables.

   1. In the Home tab of Commerce Manager for your store, navigate to Your API Keys.
   2. Get the values for clientID and clientSecret.
   3. In Postman, paste the values for clientID and clientSecret as the values of the Postman environment variables with the same names.

3. In Postman, go to the Get client credentials token request or the Get implict token request in the authentication folder.

   For more information about authentication permissions, see Client credential token and Implicit token.

   note

   Authentication tokens expire in one hour.

4. Click Send.

This sets the authentication for the current session.

You can now test the rest of your API endpoints using the other Postman folders and requests.
