Note
You can also use Postman with the Test and Production environments. Credentials for these environments are not in your Sandbox Dashboard, rather, you will need to get them from your Galileo representative.

To add your credentials to Postman:

Open another webpage and log in to the Sandbox Dashboard to access your credentials: Developer Portal
Scroll down to KEY DETAILS. These are your credentials for the Sandbox environment.

In Postman, select UniFi Core to open the collection tab.
In the collection tab, click Variables. This tab will store your credentials that apply across the collection.
In Postman, paste your credentials into both INITIAL VALUE and CURRENT VALUE columns for:
- client_id— Client ID in the Developer Dashboard
- client_secret — Client Secret in the Developer Dashboard
- username — Username in the Developer Dashboard

Test a Ping request

You can run a simple test to verify that your AccelerationCloud collection is ready to run in Postman. Follow these steps to send a test Ping request.

In Postman, type “ping” in the filter box.
Select the Ping endpoint.
