How to set up Postman, add our Bond collection, and use it to test Bond platform APIs.

Configure your Postman environment
Set API keys
You will need to set your auth keys as environment variables. You can set the variables in the headers in the environment tab within the postman collection
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| Identity | An authentication identifier used by Bond API authentication service. Primarily this is used to identify which organization a request originates from. |
| Authorization | The api key associated to the Identity |
| program_id | Test program id found in the develop tab in Bond Portal |
Fork environments
You can fork a copy of our Sandbox environment in the Public Workspace. You can then update it with your identity and authorization tokens in your private or team workspace.
Note
If you are using Postman with our Production environment, enter your Production credentials you received from Bond instead of your Sandbox credentials.
After you've forked your copy, you can enter your API credentials in your workspace.
