Hands On Labs

Explore the Secured APIs with your API Key using Postman

This section provides instructions to use the Postman client to access the AnkiMedRec APIs running on the Oracle Cloud and secured using the API Platform Cloud Service. It builds upon the previous lab where you explored the APIs using Swagger UI.

Launch the Postman application (simply type postman in a terminal if using Linux) and create a new collection with a meaningful name eg APIs-Remote

Add a GET request to the collection using the following URL

https://apip.oracleau.cloud/api/medrec/physicians

Press Send to execute the GET Request. Notice that you get a HTTP 401 - Unauthorized error message returned.

Now specify two headers as follows:

Press Send The GET Request should be accepted and Physician data returned.

Save the Request Information into your Collection.

Repeat the above steps but this time for POST requests. Verify that your POST Request was successful by running a GET request. Save your request into your collection for future reference.
