To test the API we recommend the usage of the software "Bruno" (free of charge) in combination with our testsuite. Please follow the step by step instruction to collect all information and get best examples to transfer these into your productive environment.
Shown here is the usage of the postnumbers API. The general procedure to insert the testsuite into your Bruno Client is equal to all APIs, you only have to download the specific testsuite for the API you want to use, e. g. Returns (instead of Postnumber), Shipping (instead of Postnumber), etc. (Please note that we are currently in the process of converting from Postman to Bruno. Not all test collections currently exist in Bruno - but you can also import Postman collections into Bruno.)
- Download the software "Bruno API Client": Bruno API Client | Free Usage
- Download the testsuite out of the "Download Section" (you will find it in the navigation bar)
- Keep your credentials available
If you have not yet got API key and API Secret as shown please follow the "Get Access" process (see also navigation bar) - Important: Press "save" after entering the credentials
