Variables

The collection includes a list of all potential environment variables. These values can optionally be set directly on the collection, but it's best to copy these names into your personal environment and set the values there.

Tests and Visualize

Postman provides a programmable way to visually represent your request responses using test scripts.

By including a script to build the visualization and selecting Visualize within the response Body, you will be able to see your data come to life.

Read the Postman Visualizer Docs to learn more.

A Tests script is applied to the Dashboard API v1 collection settings that imports the JSON Magic visualization code.

Note: All data is processed locally within Postman and is not stored anywhere. On additional runs of the request, all data is reset.
