Postman

Postman is an API Development Environment (ADE). It was originally design to facilitate performing HTTP requests. Since then it has matured into an industry standard for designing, documenting, testing, and interacting with APIs.

Download and install Postman.

We will demo the use of Postman in class but we cannot cover much due to our limited time. Please visit the Postman Learning Center, in particular, the section about sending API requests, for more information and guidelines.

Another good tutorial to get you up and running with Postman is guru99's postman-tutorial.
