Test the API's connections.

To test the functionalities of the FRACTTAL API, you must have installed a REST web services query program with Hawk authentication.
One of those programs is POSTMAN (Google Chrome extension), with which we will perform this example.

IMPORTANT. To create the query it is necessary that you have your ID and PASSWORD to access your Fracttal API account, this must be generated by doing the following steps by the super administrator user of your account (in case it is not you, contact the Fracttal super administrator in your company):

 

1. Log in as a super administrator.

2. Go to Settings >> Security >> API CONNECTION.

3. Ask ID and API secrett.

 

Steps to test API connections.

  1. Identify which type of consultation you are going to perform:

    • GET : Information request.

    • POST: Creating a new record.

    • UPDATE: Updating a record.

    • DELETE: Deleting a record.

  2. Enter the URL of the web service that you are going to run (EndPoint).

  3. Select the authentication method : Hawk Authentication.

  4. Enter the Fracttal API id and key.

  5. Click send.

At the bottom of Postman page, in the Body, we can view the response of the web service.
