Setup Postman
I use postman whenever I create custom connectors. This helps with testing the approach and then simplifies the process. Once you’ve created a collection then you can easily use that to upload it. Let’s get on with the steps:
- Create a get request with Search API Url. Example: https://YOURURL.zendesk.com/api/v2/search.json?query=
- Navigate to authorization tab and select Basic Auth. You will need to provide your username (registered email
youremail@yourdomian.com/token) and password (API Token). If you plan to send a base64 encoded token then make sure to send encoded token in this format youremail@yourdomian.com/token:<< actualtoken >>.
- Hit send and voila! You have your results.
