Introduction

We will use Postman to demonstrate how to get started with the Real Items API.

You can find detailed information about individual API functions, examples, and more in the Real Items API Postman collection: Postman documentation

Authentication

Your API requests are authenticated using an API key. Your API key must be passed as an HTTP header in each request. Any request that doesn't include a valid API key will return an error.

To get an API key, you need to have a subscription.

Subscribe to a plan

Store your API key somewhere safe (like a password manager). Be prepared to access your API key easily as you will be using it later in this tutorial.

Once you have your API key, you're ready to fork the Real Items API Postman collection.
