# Get Started Using Postman

Although we covered each endpoint in the following chapters, if you are familiar with using [Postman](https://www.postman.com/downloads/), here are some files with example commands to get started very quick!

1. Download the following BACE Postman collection and environment files to your laptop:

{% file src="/files/uDv4B8hQZLWVLlMm9eVK" %}
Postman Collection File
{% endfile %}

{% file src="/files/G8MxSxW4XqdTXO2KapjJ" %}
Postman Environment File
{% endfile %}

2. Import both collection and environment files into your Postman.

3. Fill in your API credentials in BACE PROD environment. Before leaving this page make sure it is **saved** and you have switched to **BACE PROD** environment.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please reach out your Evalan representative to get **client\_id** and **client\_secret** if you don't have them yet.
{% endhint %}

4. Go ahead try if Request Oauth2 Token (Password Grant) request in Authentication & Self to see if you are set up properly. You could receive a token and that will be automatically used for any requests in this collection file&#x20;

5. Next you can try calling an example API such as physical devices to see all gateways assigned to your account.
