This tutorial is based on Postman, a free third-party client application used to test and explore RESTful APIs. Prior to setting up your Postman environment you need to:
-
Download the API sample collection. Extract the file, then import the environment and request collection.
It is recommended that you download both files to the same folder location, as they
can then be imported together.
The ZIP file contains the following:
-
A sample environment file: SITrainingPostmanEnvironment_2.3.json
-
A collection of requests: SITutorialPostmanCollection_2.3.json
-
The OData protocol provides a very specific and specialized syntax to use when requesting
data. For details, see the OData Getting Started.
