Using PolyAPI’s Postman Collection: Key Features and Use Cases

Feature Highlight 8

PolyAPI’s Postman Collection offers a nice experience to discovering, learning, and testing our APIs and platform, helping developers accelerate their onboarding process and developing integration workflows. This collection provides everything developers need to automate core integration lifecycle activities, such as environment provisioning, user role and access management, function deployment, and much more. The collection is publicly accessible and can be easily forked, allowing teams to customize it for their specific needs, making it simple to adapt and integrate into existing workflows.

As part of our API-first approach, new features and capabilities are often made available in the Postman Collection before they are fully integrated into our UI, allowing early access to the latest functionality. Moreover, for developers looking to interface directly with Poly in their code, we offer SDKs in Python, TypeScript, Java, and C#, ensuring integration with our platform is as easy and adaptable as possible across different programming environments.

Key Features

  • Comprehensive Coverage: Our Postman Collection is logically organized to mirror the PolyAPI resource model, with full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) and specialty operations available for each platform capability.
  • Functionally Descriptive Folders: Each folder in the collection contains essential CRUD operations, complete with functional descriptions that provide clarity and structure for ease of use.
  • Explicit Variables: Each request is equipped with clear and explicit variables, designed to integrate nicely with environment variables, reducing complexity during testing.
  • Accurate Terminology: Environment variables are labeled with precise, PolyAPI-specific terminology, ensuring that they align perfectly with the platform’s logic and architecture.
  • Detailed Request Payloads: POST and PATCH requests are provided with example payloads, including attribute-level descriptions and annotations to clarify which fields are required. Enums are also accompanied by a list of possible values, simplifying decision-making.
  • Pre-Configured Training Templates: A folder template structure is included to help teams train Poly with training scripts already configured, speeding up the process of implementing automation and integrations.
  • Predefined Environment Variables: Environment variables are provided in a separate file, allowing for easier configuration and setup across different projects.

At PolyAPI, we deeply care about providing developers with the best possible experience, and our Postman Collection reflects that commitment. We’re continuously investing in improving our tools and resources to make API integration as smooth and efficient as possible. We invite you to explore the collection for yourself and see how it can accelerate your development workflows.
