Note about Authorization and Access Tokens in Postman:

Note:In Postman, you can easily retrieve an access token by making a call to the authorization API. The process is streamlined: the access token is automatically updated within Postman, simplifying your authentication workflow. However, when integrating the authorization API into your application, you need to take a more hands-on approach. You'll have to explicitly send the API calls to obtain the access token and manage its renewal manually within your app's codebase. Despite the extra work involved, the flexibility and control you gain by implementing the authorization API directly allow you to customize the authentication process to fit your particular requirements.

You will need to obtain sandbox credentials to use the Postman Collection

  1. Open the Postman application on your machine.

  2. Locate and select the imported MBanq collection from the "Collections" section in the sidebar.

  3. In the environment variables section, you need to update the following variables: user_name, password, client_id, and client_secret. These updates are essential to generate the access token required for API authentication. Make sure to fill in the appropriate values for each variable to ensure a successful access token generation process. Once these variables are correctly configured, Postman will automatically handle the access token updates, streamlining the authentication process for your collection.
