Appetize provides a Postman™ API client collection of API requests to help you get started working with our endpoints without needing to write any code.

What is Postman?

Postman is an industry-standard tool for designing, building and testing API’s and can be leveraged to make ad hoc calls to existing API’s

Once the import is complete you will need to edit the url for each of the calls to insert the base url that pertains to your specific project, and to add in your specific API key that is assigned to you for your project.
