Introducing Our Fully Revamped Vonage Postman Collection

We’re excited to share that our public Postman collection for Vonage APIs has been fully revamped — designed to make it easier, faster and more reliable for you, our developer community, to explore and integrate Vonage services.

Over time, as our platform grew with new capabilities in messaging, voice, video, verification and network powered APIs, we realised the experience for discovering, testing and integrating those APIs needed to evolve. Our goal:

• Reduce the time to make your first API call

• Provide clear context, and real-world examples in each request.

• Make the collection cleaner, better organized, and aligned with our current architecture and best practices.

What’s new

Here are some of the key improvements you’ll find in the revamped collection:

• Organization & Navigation: The workspace is structured by capability (e.g., Account Management, Messaging, Voice, Privacy & Security, and Voice) so you can quickly locate the endpoints that matter.

• Fully documented requests: Each request includes documentation in the “Description” tab, explaining what the call does, when you’d use it, required variables (API keys, secrets, JWTs), and expected responses

• Verified publisher & freshness: Vonage is now a verified publisher on Postman, underscoring our commitment to keeping the collection up to date

• Fork and collaborate: You can fork the workspace into your own Postman environment to test the collection.

How to get started

1. Navigate to the collection page on Postman: Vonage APIs

2. Import or “Run in Postman” the collection into your Postman workspace.

3. Create a new environment (via the gear icon) and add your Vonage API credentials (e.g., api_key, api_secret, and bearerToken).

4. Choose an endpoint to try and run it: e.g., send an SMS, initiate a verification, place a voice call, etc.

5. Explore the documentation tab of each request to understand parameters, headers, and response structure.

6. Fork the collection if you wish, add tests, automation, or adapt it to your use case.

Conclusion

The revamped Postman collection is designed to help you build and test faster, and integrate more confidently than ever. We are committed to keeping the collection fresh by continually adding the latest features to our APIs!
