Use the API with Postman

You can import the Bytes Developer API into Postman from the OpenAPI specification.

What you need

  • A Bytes account
  • A workspace API key
  • Postman installed or available in your browser
  • The Bytes OpenAPI specification URL
https://developer.jaww.ws/openapi/bytes-developer-api.openapi.yaml

Import the API

  1. Open Postman.
  2. Choose Import.
  3. Import from the OpenAPI URL above, or download the YAML file from the OpenAPI page and import the file.
  4. Confirm the imported collection or API.
  5. Save it into the workspace you want to use.

Add variables

Create or update an environment with these variables:

VariableValue
base_urlhttps://api.jaww.ws/api/v1
bytes_api_keyYour workspace API key

Do not share environments that contain real API keys.

Set authentication

For the collection or request, set bearer token authentication with:

{{bytes_api_key}}

Postman should send it as:

Authorization: Bearer {{bytes_api_key}}

Try a request

Start with List workspace tags:

GET {{base_url}}/tags

Then try Create a short link with a safe test destination.

Safety notes

  • Do not commit exported Postman environments containing real keys.
  • Do not paste real API keys into screenshots or support messages.
  • Revoke and recreate a key if you think it has been exposed.
