API in Postman

In this section, we will give you a quick overview of how to use the Postman API tool to send your first requests to the BoldSign API.

If you do not have Postman yet, start by downloading and installing it from getpostman.com.

Once you have installed Postman, you can start adding the BoldSign API collection by clicking this button.

The easiest way to authorize your requests is to add your X-API-KEY. To do that, you will first need to find your API token by following the link Generate API Key.

Next, continue with the following steps:

• To authorize your requests, add your X-API-KEY to Postman by clicking the drop-down menu (three-dot icon) next to the collection name.
• Choose Edit.
• In the new edit screen, click the Authorization tab.
• Add the type of authorization method, the Key (which is X-API-KEY), and the value of your X-API-KEY. Then, choose Add to to be Query Params.
• Confirm the changes by clicking the Update button.

Now, you can make your first request. Make sure that under the Authorization tab, the authorization type is selected as Inherit auth from parent.
