Description
Overview
As an API user, I want to download our N1 Console API. I also need to know how to set up variables in Postman
Description
Options:
- If the description is relatively short, add the doc to the top of https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-one/api/api-reference-guide/
- With recent changes to our doc theme, this is now possible
- For a longer description, we should set up a separate page in https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-one/api/
I visualize the following sections:
-
Prerequisites
- NGINX tenant name
- Explanation of how to use the tenant name
- We might be able to use this section
- Postman account (or equivalent)
- NGINX tenant name
-
Instructions:
- Navigate to the NGINX One API Reference
- Select the Download button
- You'll see a one.json file in your download directory
- Open Postman (or equivalent)
- Select File > Import
- Import the one.json file
- Set up the following variables as described in the Postman documentation
- API key
- Tenant
- Anything else
