Set up Postman for Model API

Set up Postman for Model API

  • Create new Collection in Postman for model-api
  • Set Authorization for the collection to be Bearer Token. Assign token to be a global variable called {{model-api-token}}

  • Set up localhost environment

  • Set up global variables
    • Go to the eye in the upper right hand corner
    • under Globals, click Edit
    • Add a row for model-api-token

  • Add API call
    • In the left hand menu, Under the Model-API collection, add a new request. Example is below. You can include request parameters, request body, etc. to the request
    • In the upper right hand corner, select LocalHost as the environment

  • Next, we'll get an auth token from the web app.
    • Press F12 to open the developer console and navigate to the Network tab. The network tab will not start monitoring requests until the tab is open, so this has to be done first.
    • Click Log In with Fullcount, enter your username and password, and click Login. You'll see a series of network requests appear in the Network tab.
    • In the filter-search box at the top of the Network tab, type "token". Find and click into the POST request to {url}/authorization/oauth/token. Navigate to the network requests' Response tab.
    • Find the JSON field called "access_token". Right click and Copy Value.
    • Paste the access token into the Postman in model-api-token's Current Value.
    • Note that this access token will expire. So you have to update it regularly.
  • Run request by clicking on the Send button.

 

Alternatively, you can set up a Postman script to automatically make a login request and set model-api-token.

  • In a browser, open the developer tools and navigate to the network tab.
  • In the network tab, search the keyword "token". Find the Post request to {url}/authorization/oauth/token. Copy the entire URL
  • In Postman, create a new request. Select POST and paste the URL.
  • Go to the Scripts tab and paste the following code:

 

              

const response = pm.response.json();

 

 

              

const accessToken = response.access_token;

 

 

              

pm.globals.set("model-api-token", accessToken);

 

 

              

console.log("Access Token:", accessToken);

 

  • Run the request each time your login token expires

Setting up OAuth2 Token for Postman

  • Set Header Prefix to Bearer
  • Set Grant Type to Authorization Code (With PKCE)

You can set all the values as variables if you want
