Postman Library API v2 docs
Number of APIs: 5
Manage books in the Qodex library using this API. This API is designed to teach the basics of using APIs and Qodex!
Note that all non-permanent collection books are automatically deleted on a three-day rolling basis
Permanent collection books
Some books are part of the permanent collection and cannot be edited or deleted. These books have the property isPermanentCollection: true
Authorizing requests
This API requires Authorization to make POST, PATCH, and DELETE requests.
You will need to set the API key in the collection variables to Qodexrulz
in order to make those requests.
In the real world you would generate an API Key with an API's developer portal service. This is just a training API so we have provided an API key for you!
Learn more about authorizing API requests in Qodex [here]
This is a public API!
Any book you add or update will be publicly visible to all users of this API. Please be respectful and follow these rules:
- Only modify books you have added yourself
- Understand that books in this API may be deleted at any time
What's different from the old [Qodex Library API]
The old Library API was used in the [Qodex Classroom Program] modules. We made some improvements for v2:
API Key Auth for POST/PATCH/DELETE requests. Practice authorization!
POST/PATCH requests now return book info such as
id
. This enables possibilities with scripting based on the response.Dedicated public workspace and docs. You can view this API's schema from the
API
tab in the public workspace. Easily find and fork this API or docs by searchingQodex Library API v2
