Testing with Postman
GoTab publishes a public Postman collection as a convenience for developers who prefer testing the REST API interactively. The collection is optional — it isn’t required for integration work.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”Before getting started, make sure you have:
- Completed the Quick Start guide
- Obtained your Client ID and Client Secret from the Integration Dashboard
Fork the collection
Section titled “Fork the collection”Click the Run in Postman button below to fork the GoTab Integration Workspace collection into your own Postman environment. Forking creates an independent copy you can modify freely without affecting the original.
Configure your credentials
Section titled “Configure your credentials”- Open the forked collection in Postman.
- Navigate to the Variables tab.
- Enter your Client ID in the
client_idfield. - Enter your Client Secret in the
client_secretfield.
Make requests
Section titled “Make requests”Once your credentials are saved, the collection handles authentication automatically. A pre-built script fetches and persists your access token so you don’t need to manage it manually.
You can start making API requests immediately after saving your credentials.
