# Postman Collection

> Import the Adhere API Postman collection to test endpoints without writing code.

The Adhere Postman collection contains every API endpoint pre-configured with the correct URL, headers, and example request bodies. It's the fastest way to explore the API and test calls before integrating.

## Import the Collection

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Postman">
    Download and open [Postman](https://www.postman.com/downloads/) if you haven't already.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Import the collection">
    Click the link below to open the collection in Postman directly:

    **[Open Adhere API in Postman →](https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/55164637/2sBXwjxET7)**

    Or copy the collection URL and use **File → Import → Link** inside Postman.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set your API key">
    In Postman, go to the collection's **Variables** tab and set `x-access-token` to your Adhere API key.

    Your API key is available in the [Adhere dashboard](https://adhere-app.smartcomply.com).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send a request">
    Pick any endpoint from the collection, check the pre-filled body, and click **Send**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Collection Structure

## Authentication

All requests require the `x-access-token` header. Set it once at the collection level so it applies to every request automatically:

1. Click the collection name → **Edit**
2. Go to the **Variables** tab
3. Add a variable named `x-access-token` with your API key as the value
4. In each request's **Headers** tab, the header is already set to `{{x-access-token}}`

<Note>
  Never share your API key publicly or commit it to source control. Use Postman environment variables to keep it out of shared workspaces.
</Note>

## Base URL

All endpoints in the collection use:

```
https://adhere-api.smartcomply.com
```
