Mdaemon API Access via Postman

GET requests to the API port return the documentation. Make sure you are using a POST method.

I’ve never used Postman, in fact, I’ve never even seen it. I generally just write C/C++, Jscript, and a little PowerShell to access the API and the latter two to write the samples I provide in the help portal.

That is why my response on your Authentication question was how I personally construct the Authorization header, using a Base64 object I have for Jscript. By constructing the header manually, I avoid the initial un-authenticated attempt that the http request objects make.

Arron, who provided the Auth tip for Postman in an earlier response to your question, uses it to access the API quite a bit.

Hi John,

Examples in postman will just be the XML request you are sending. There are a number of examples, include the response you receive back, in the \MDaemon\Docs\API\XML API\Samples directory.

If you have something specific that you are having problems getting to work, please post the XML you are sending along with a description of what you are trying to accomplish and we would be glad to help you figure it out.

Has anyone created any postman examples?
