Authenticate and access Experience Platform APIs

Alright, after we’ve generated our access token, we can begin interacting with Adobe IO APIs. In this video, I interact with experienced platform APIs, using Adobe-provided Postman collections. To access these collections, head over to the experience-platform-postman-samples GitHub repository, navigate into APIs, Experience Platform, and there’s a Postman collection for each of the APIs available. For this video, I load a single collection for the Schema Registry API.

Once we’ve downloaded all the collections that we want to use, let’s head back to Postman, select import, and load all the Postman collection files.

As you can see, we have our Schema Registry API collection, and within this are a number of folders, and within each folder, are the HTTP requests we can make to interact with the API. Let’s keep this simple, and interact with the stats API.

So we can simply open this up, we can look at the headers, which are mapped to the environment variables, which are provided by the Adobe API environment export, as well as the access token, which we obtained from the Adobe IO access token generation Postman collection. Alright, so let’s try this out. We just hit send, to execute the API command, and there you go, we’ve successfully interacted with experienced platforms, a Schema Registry API, using Postman.
