Postman

Getting Started with Postman Collections

You can use our Postman collection to easily test and play around with our APIs

Download Postman and the Sayari collection

First download the Postman Client , or try the web version.
Then download our Postman collection. (Right-click and “Save As” to download)

Import the collection

Create a workspace in Postman
Locate the import option inside it
Drag and drop the collection.json file

Review the collection

You should now see the collection and Sayari endpoints in your workspace
Each endpoint contains defaults you can test, however before they work we need to setup authentication

Setup Postman environment and variables

Navigate to environments
Use global, or create an environment of your choice
Add two variables: client_id and client_secret and enter the credentials you have received from Sayari
If you don’t have credentials, reach out to your account representative

Make an auth request, and copy the bearer token

Set your client_id and client_secret variables in the body of Auth: Get Token Request
Hit send
Copy the access_token

Set the token variable

Go to the API collection, navigate to variables and paste the access_token as the initial value and current value for token
Once the token expires (24 hours), you will need to repeat this step

Make your first request!

Now that authentication is setup, navigate to the endpoint of your choice
Modify parameters as desired
