Using Postman To Troubleshoot RESTful API Requests

January 8, 2015 Nic Raboy

A follower of my blog recently came to me asking for help with their Magento API service. If you’re unfamiliar with Magento, it is an Ecommerce solution by eBay that uses Oauth 1.0a to handle API requests. If you’ve been keeping up with my blog you’ll notice I had done a previous post on Oauth 1.0a, and it was everything, but fun.

So how does a newbie go about making quick tests to Oauth providers or RESTful APIs without a lot of stress? If you’re using Google Chrome like I am, there is a nifty application called Postman which does very thorough API testing.
