Postman How-to for Beetexting OpenAPIs
How to Call Beetexting OpenAPIs using Postman ?
We can use a tool like Postman to test the APIs.
For all Beetexting OpenAPIs we need to set Authorization Headers as shown in below screenshots.
Auth Type should be OAuth 2.0. In the ‘Add authorization data to’ field, “Request Headers” should be selected from the dropdown.
The Client Authentication field should be selected as ‘Send as Basic Auth header’ from the dropdown as shown in above image.
