Tip

If you don’t have any authentication, headers, or parameters to add to the service, open a new tab and paste the URL of your yunIO service endpoint into the main URL input line. Select POST from the method drop-down list and click [Send] to execute the service.

Parameterize the Service

All parameters defined in yunIO are accessible in the request body of the service.
To set parameters, edit the Body accordingly e.g., set the input parameter NAME1 to "John%" to get all data of customers whose names starts with "John".
There are multiple ways to set the parameter:

  • Enter the parameter value directly into the request body: "NAME1": "John%"
  • Use a variable to set the parameter: "NAME1": "{{my_variable}}"
    For more information on variables in Postman, see Using Variables in Postman.
