What is an API collection?
The ID360 REST API Postman collection contains all ID360 API requests. These boilerplate requests enable testing and exploration of the ID360 APIs in various environments for multiple organizations.
Why use the API collection?
Setting up environments, variables, and authorization manually from the API documentation for each test can be time-consuming. The ID360 REST API Postman collection simplifies API exploration, making the process swift and effortless while reducing the risk of errors.
Note: The Postman collection does not substitute the ID360 API documentation. It is recommended to use both together for accurate implementation.
Prerequisites
- A Zoho account to access the Zoho API Console.
