Using Postman

Installing Postman

We highly recommend using Postman Google Chrome app when using the Datafiniti API. Postman is a generic but helpful API client and it will make using our API much easier.

To install Postman, follow the steps on this page.

Importing a Datafiniti API Collection

If you're working with our Customer Success team, you were probably given a Postman collection specifically for your Datafiniti account. This collection is a set of saved API calls that you let you pull out relevant API requests quickly. To add your collection, follow these steps:

• Click "Import" from the top menu bar.
• Click "Choose Files".
• Select the collection file given to you by our Customer Success team.

The import will automatically happen. Once it's done, you'll see a Datafiniti option under "Collections" in the left-hand menu area.

Additional Configuration

Since you're most likely going to be working with JSON-formatted data if you're using Postman, we recommend setting the default language to JSON.

To do this, click on File > Settings and set Language Detection to JSON.
