Discover our APIs with Postman

Overview

Postman is an application designed to help with API integrations and exploration. This is the tool of choice for both experienced developers and no-code enthusiasts to get familiar with our available endpoints, requests, and responses.

Using our Ledger Enteprise Discovery Postman Collection, you can start testing our API before you need write a single line of code.

Setup the API Environment

The Ledger Enterprise Discovery Collection comes with a template environment.

Start by selecting No Environment and then choose Ledger Enterprise Environment in the top right corner.

Then, on the environment section in the left, navigate to Ledger Enterprise Environment and edit the following fields in the current value column :

  • URL with your workspace url followed at the end by : /lam
  • API_USER_NAME with your api user name. You can create one or use one that has been shared with you to explore with the API.
  • X-Ledger-API-Key with the API key you generated for your workspace or the one shared with you to explorer the API.

The result will look similar to the following screen:
