Testing your API

Procedure

1. Go to the Developer Portal URL: http://evalXXXX.mashery.com and click IO Docs, or directly go to http://evalXXXX.mashery.com/interactive-documentation. Acme API is automatically selected from the API list.

2. Select your API from the drop-down list if you have more than one API definition.

   info

   • If you followed the instructions in this document, you should have your API Key in the App/Keylist (navigate to My Account>My Applications>View keys).

   • For unregistered users or users without the key, you just see a text box (To see the text box, click the Manually provide key information link).

3. In the Default section, with Starter App App/Key selected,

   a. Open up the GET exampleMethod (it may be a different name if you optionally change it).

   b. Click Try It out to test the API.

4. You can see the sample request URI at http://evalXXXX.api.mashery.com/acme/v1/product?api_key=your-api-key. You can try this directly using your favorite client (for example, Curl, Postman, REST Client, SoapUI) or even add it into your browser. You can also change the URL by replacing the product with the order, as this is another method available on this API.
