# Postman Collection

> Access Revolv3's Postman collections for easy API testing. Learn how to get the collections and use them to test your integration.

## What Are Postman Collections?

**Postman collections** are pre-configured API requests that make it easy to test the Revolv3 API without writing code. They include:

* All API endpoints pre-configured
* Example requests with sample data
* Environment variables for easy switching
* Documentation built into each request

**Why use them:**

* **Quick testing**: Test API calls without writing code
* **Learn the API**: See how requests should be structured
* **Debugging**: Test specific endpoints when troubleshooting
* **Documentation**: Built-in examples and descriptions

## How to Get Postman Collections

To get the latest Revolv3 Postman collection:

1. **Contact Revolv3 Support**
   * Your Onboarding Team will provide you access to these collections when you get your Sandbox Credentials
2. **What you'll receive**
   * Postman collection file
   * Instructions for importing
   * Environment files for sandbox and production
   * Documentation on how to use it

## Using Postman Collections

Once you have the collection:

1. **Import into Postman**
   * Open Postman
   * Click "Import"
   * Select the collection file
   * Import any environment files
2. **Set up your environment**
   * Create or use the provided environment
   * Add your API key to environment variables
   * Set the API root URL
3. **Start testing**
   * Browse the collection for the endpoint you need
   * Update request parameters as needed
   * Send requests and view responses

## Benefits of Using Postman

* **No code required**: Test APIs without writing integration code
* **Visual interface**: See requests and responses clearly
* **Variable management**: Store API keys and URLs in variables
* **Team sharing**: Share collections with your team

## Alternative Testing Methods

If you don't use Postman, you can also test with:

* **curl**: Command-line tool (examples in our docs)
* **Your own code**: Write test scripts in your preferred language
* **Revolv3 Portal**: Some operations can be tested in the web portal
