Editor.swagger.io

The URL that refers to the API specification can be easily imported and translated to different clients by using editor.swagger.io



Postman

With Postman, a mockup or test client can be created by importing the URL, adding the API-key and client credentials and configuring parameter values. Please refer to Postman documentation for more information.
