Hello,
I downloaded the official 1.8 API swagger collection to use it on Postman
i’m doing some testing but i have to manualy add the authorisation key to the headers and modify the link
to add my IP, i need help to do that automatically .
PS : i’ve already set local variables on my environment on postman (access_token and url )
Could you tell me what exactly seems to be the problem please? I believe those items are explained here or is there something missing? 1.8 API Introduction
Long story short, you define parameters in environment (like url access_token etc) and then use those parameters in {{ }} in your calls, instead of providing cms address or access_token in each call
so let’s say
you had something like
192.168.0.11/api/layout
if you define url in the environment then you’d simply use
{{url}}/api/layout
similar for access_token in most calls headers, instead of trying to copy/paste in each time, you will want to have it defined in environment and then in headers:
If you’ve downloaded the collection from my guide then I believe most calls already have that this way - all you’d need to do is to define access_token, url and others in the environment.
Thank you for the quick reply Peter,
the collection from your guide is a lite version i needed the complete one ! and yes i want it to be the same way u already defined the variables.
in the complete version ( available here https://xibo.org.uk/manual/api/#/)
i have something like this "api/playlist/widget/:widgetId"
so i need to myself add {{url}} to every request link
Well yes, I did not add every single available call to my Postman example guide, as that wasn’t the main goal of that guide.
The goal was/is to show the examples which should then help you create other calls without too many problems.
yes and your guide was very clear and helpful !
