API: Sample Calls

Go to API overview

There are a range of tools that can be used for making API calls. Postman is a popular choice, see https://www.postman.com/ Create an environment so don't need to add the keys to the header of every call you make. If your tool lets you create the environment from JSON, copy and paste the code below and add your keys. Note that the host will be "https://api-staging.dizions.co.uk/v2" if you are using early release features.

{
	"host": "https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2",
	"source": YOUR_SOURCE_KEY,
	"org": YOUR_ORG_KEY,
	"user": YOUR_USER_KEY
}

Depending on the tool, you may have a 2 column table to enter keys and values instead. See API Authentication for more info.

Copy and paste the the code below into a text editor, and save with a .json extension. The file can then be imported into Postman.
