Log360 Cloud REST API collection
What is an API collection?
The Log360 Cloud REST API Postman collection contains all Log360 Cloud API requests. These boilerplate requests enable testing and exploration of the Log360 Cloud APIs in various environments for multiple organizations.
Why use the API collection?
Setting up environments, variables, and authorization manually from the API documentation for each test can be time-consuming. The Log360 Cloud REST API Postman collection simplifies API exploration, making the process swift and effortless while reducing the risk of errors.
Note: The Postman collection does not substitute the Log360 Cloud API documentation. It is recommended to use both together for accurate implementation.
Prerequisites
- A Zoho account to access the Zoho API Console.
- A registered client to generate an organization-specific grant token.
