Importing the EdfaPay Postman Collection

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for importing and configuring the EdfaPay Postman Collection, enabling you to effectively test and integrate with EdfaPay APIs.

Step 1: Download the Collection File

Begin by downloading the latest EdfaPay Postman Collection. This collection is compatible with both Sandbox and Production environments.

💡
The same collection file is used for both Sandbox and Production environments. You will update the base_url variable within Postman to switch between them.

Step 2: Open Postman and Initiate Import

Launch the Postman application on your computer. In the top-left menu, locate and click the Import button.

Step 3: Select the Collection File

In the Import window that appears, click Upload Files. Browse your local system and select the .json file you downloaded in Step 1.

Step 4: Verify Successful Import

Upon successful import, the EdfaPay API collection will be listed in the Collections panel on the left side of your Postman interface.

Step 5: Configure Environment Variables

Navigate to the Environments section in Postman. Create a new environment or edit an existing one, and then add the following essential variables:

Variable	Description	Example Value
`client_key`	Your unique EdfaPay client key.	`xxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx`
`password`	Your EdfaPay secret password.	`*******-**-***-****`
`base_url`	The base URL for the EdfaPay API.	Sandbox: `https://apidev.edfapay.com` Production: `https://api.edfapay.com`

Step 6: Test an API Request

To ensure everything is configured correctly:

Select the appropriate environment (Sandbox or Production) from the environment dropdown.
Choose any request from the newly imported EdfaPay API collection.
Click Send to execute the request and view the API response.

❗️
Important Security Note Always protect your credentials. Never share your client_key or password in public Postman workspaces or repositories.

⚠️
Prioritize Sandbox Testing It is strongly recommended to test all API integrations thoroughly in the Sandbox environment (https://apidev.edfapay.com) before deploying to Production.
