# Postman collection

We publish a maintained Postman collection covering every endpoint in this API reference, plus sample proxy requests for the three live products.

## Import

### From URL

In Postman: **Import → Link**, paste:

```
https://api.helodata.com/v1/postman/collection.json
```

The collection updates on every API release. Re-import to refresh.

### From file

Download once, then drag-drop into Postman:

```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer API_KEY" \
     https://api.helodata.com/v1/postman/collection.json \
     -o helodata.postman_collection.json
```

The collection is also shipped with this docs repository at [`assets/helodata.postman_collection.json`](https://github.com/teokunsuper/helodata-docs/blob/main/assets/helodata.postman_collection.json) along with a starter environment [`assets/helodata-prod.postman_environment.json`](https://github.com/teokunsuper/helodata-docs/blob/main/assets/helodata-prod.postman_environment.json) — import both for an out-of-box setup.

* **helodata-test** — sandbox (coming soon)

Variables you fill in:

| Variable       | Value                                          |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `api_key`      | Your API token                                 |
| `subuser_name` | e.g. `s1a2b3c4d5e`                             |
| `subuser_pass` | Sub-user password                              |
| `isp_ip`       | One IP from your ISP batch (for proxy samples) |

## Run via Newman (CI)

```bash
newman run helodata.postman_collection.json \
       --environment helodata-prod.postman_environment.json \
       --env-var "api_key=$HELODATA_API_KEY" \
       --folder "1 — Auth check"
```

Useful for smoke-testing your account from CI after credential rotation.

## OpenAPI

If your tools prefer OpenAPI, the same surface is available at:

```
https://api.helodata.com/v1/openapi.json
```

Compatible with Swagger UI, Redoc, Stoplight, and most code generators.

## Versioning

Both `collection.json` and `openapi.json` follow the same `/v1` versioning as the API itself. We publish a new spec **major version** when breaking changes ship; older versions remain importable at `/v0/...`, `/v1/...`, etc.
