Postman collections for APIC-EM

Nathan Sowatskey — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 12:29:55 GMT

This is informational for those looking, like me, for POSTMAN material for APIC-EM.

There is a tutorial here:

https://developer.cisco.com/site/apic-em/learn/hello-world-ga/index.gsp

And a Postman collection here:

apic-em-samples-aradford/tools/postman at master · CiscoDevNet/apic-em-samples-aradford · GitHub

I'll update this post as I discover more.

Regards

Nathan

GitHub appears to mirror deployment on sandboxapic.cisco.com?

I am on the road to improving my APIC-EM API capabilities I would like to protect my customer’s estate from unwelcome Postman activity. User credentials would be my user’s preference to ticketing and involves fewer steps. I need to be armed to pre-empt my customer’s obvious first question.

Kind Regards

Hi Michael,

is your question about credentials in the GitHub collection that i published?

APIC-EM has multiple roles and you can have external (radius) accounts or internal accounts.

The postman collection uses variables for the username/password and the first request is to get a ticket, which is then used for all subsequent requests.

Here is a blog I posted on the using the postman collection Look No Code... learning about APIC-EM API without writing code...
