The examples in this collection show how to do some of our basic API operations. For all of the other sample requests that require a Hybrik Job ID, the post-request script saves the job ID returned from the Hybrik API as a variable so it is used for the other examples.Note that if you want to submit your own job, you can simply replace the of the submit job request.Once you hit the big blue Send button, you should see a Hybrik Job ID returned in the response area in the bottom panel.One note is that on our submit job request, we grab a public example and insert it as the body of our request. Now that you have your environment setup, all of the API calls will use your environment variables for authentication.All of the authorization is handled for you but if you want to see a specific call to get authorization, see the POST /login request at the bottom of the list. The first call in our job operations list is to submit a job.In building automation, this step isn’t necessary with every call but we do it here to ensure that we don’t get an authorization error. If you click on the Hybrik API folder and choose Pre-request Script, you will see the authorization call that we make to get a token ahead of each api request.For more information on where to find these credentials, refer to our REST API Tutorial. The initial values are used if you export your environment.

You only need to update the current values but updating both will work too to reduce confusion. Postman will set the initial and current values from the imported environment file.

You can now replace the dummy placeholders with your own account information.

Next, click on the eyeball button next to the environment and click the Edit button.

Read our REST API Tutorial for how to get this information. You will need your API Endpoint, and an API user.

Before you submit a job or make any API calls, however, you will need to replace the Environment from the top-right of Postman and update all of the credentials with the information from your account.

We have configured a bunch of variables and scripts to make getting started easy. Now that you have imported the files, you can expand the Hybrik API in the Collections tab.Once you have selected the files, choose the Import button.Select the Hybrik API Collection JSON json file and the Environment JSON json file.First, download your own copy of Postman and open the interface and create a new workspace.You can download the example Postman Collection and Environment here, then follow our examples.

We’ve assembed a pre-built series of examples into a Postman Collection which will let you start tinkering with the Hybrik API in no time. Postman is a cross-platform Graphical User Interface tool that makes it easy to build and debug requests. Hybrik’s Job Management portion of the API is pretty straight forward but if you’re new to calling APIs, you might find Postman more intuitive and convienent than a command line tool such as curl.
