# 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="<https://2186022299-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQAP1rE2NAOVH04TQmlau%2Fuploads%2Fxo7RoVNFkmhxp8lR3t3f%2FBACE%20API%20v2%20-%20For%20Customers%20-%20Aug2023.postman_collection.json?alt=media&token=aab63a03-4f0e-4338-99d7-1b0107fb6fe0>" %}
Postman Collection File
{% endfile %}

{% file src="<https://2186022299-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQAP1rE2NAOVH04TQmlau%2Fuploads%2FKl7cp6i5JtMX1WrRvmLO%2FBACE%20PROD.postman_environment.json?alt=media&token=0d1cb0df-97bf-40f9-bdcf-f952fb315d97>" %}
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.
