Factech is integrated System where 3rd Party System can use Factech API to fetch records as per need or vice versa.

Below example explain step by step how Postman Collection can be used to fetch details from API

1.  Import Collection in Postman

For example you would have received, postman collection url from Factech similar to below:

https://api.postman.com/collections/1636401-5005d819-6ce9-4db9-894b-9472f8213712?access_key=PMAT-01J15AN4XHJEMBPSC1VEDR2ZV5

Open Postman app Go to Collection and click on Import -> add collection URL Refer below screenshot

Once collection imported. Add host, site-id, username and password against imported collection in variable tab. Save the same.

Using API directly
