Tutorial: Postman sample oData queries

Postman is a tool that lets you construct, execute and test HTTP requests in a quick and easy way. Making it a foundation for the oData tutorial, lets you instantly run queries against a real environment and provide you a sandbox to play with different sample queries and see the results of that. This tutorial is the fastest way to start learning and experimenting with Sitefinity CMS Web Services API, as it requires minimum effort for setup on your end.

This tutorial connects to an online instance of Sitefinity and contains a collection of requests for the most common operations, supported by the Sitefinity Web Services API, based on oData.

To run the tutorial, perform the following:

  1. Install Postman packaged app.
  2. Sign in or register in Postman and open the app.
  3. In the toolbar, click Import.
  4. Import the SitefinityWebServicesTutorial.postman_collection.json file.
