# Postman Collection for MeiliSearch
Are you tired to use the curl
command in your terminal to test MeiliSearch? It can be tedious to re-write every route when wanting to try out an API.
Postman is a platform that lets you create HTTP requests that you can reuse easily and share with everyone.
We provide a Postman collection containing all the routes of the MeiliSearch API! ๐
NOTE
If you don't use Postman yet, you can download it here (opens new window).
It's free and available on many OS distributions.
# Import the collection
Once you downloaded the Postman collection, you need to import it into Postman.
# Edit the configuration
Set the API key if needed (set to masterKey
value by default):
And set the host URL (works for a local machine by default) and the index UID (set to indexUID
by default):
The url
and indexUID
variables are used in all the collection routes, like in this one:
# Start to use it!
You can now run your MeiliSearch instance and create your first index:
