Learn how to get started with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Platform APIs. This tutorial guides you through the process to create authentication credentials and start making Experience Platform API requests.

Create a project in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Developer Console and export a Postman environment export-integration-details-to-postman

is a third-party application which helps developers quickly and easily interact with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Platform APIs.

Export Details for Postman capability provides an easy way to export the account details required to access and interact with an Experience Platform APIs in a single Postman Environment file, removing the need to copy-and-paste values from ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Developer Console into Postman.

IMPORTANT
To access the , you must be a either a or a in the .
After creating your API credential, a System Administrator must associate the credential with a role in the Experience Platform.

Generate an Access Token with Postman generate-an-access-token-with-postman

Use the to obtain an Access Token to access the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Platform APIs.

Interact with Experience Platform APIs using Postman

Explore interacting with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Platform APIs using the , building upon the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Developer Console Environment Variables and generated access token.

Transcript
Alright, after we’ve generated our access token, we can begin interacting with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ IO APIs. In this video, I interact with experienced platform APIs, using ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ-provided Postman collections. To access these collections, head over to the experience-platform-postman-samples GitHub repository, navigate into APIs, experience platform, and there’s a Postman collection for each of the APIs available. For this video, I load a single collection for the Schema Registry API.
Once we’ve downloaded all the collections that we want to use, let’s head back to Postman, select import, and load all the Postman collection files.
As you can see, we have our Schema Registry API collection, and within this are a number of folders, and within each folder, are the HTTP requests we can make to interact with the API. Let’s keep this simple, and interact with the stats API.
So we can simply open this up, we can look at the headers, which are mapped to the environment variables, which are provided by the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ API environment export, as well as the access token, which we obtained from the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ IO access token generation Postman collection. Alright, so let’s try this out. We just hit send, to execute the API command, and there you go, we’ve successfully interacted with experienced platforms, a Schema Registry API, using Postman.
