# Postman
> Test your REST API calls with Postman
Postman is a great tool to test HTTP API endpoint calls. We recommend first using Postman to more easily diagnose issues.
Click the "Run in Postman" button to ***fork a version in Postman*** for the web:
[](https://god.gw.postman.com/run-collection/7602335-776bf0f9-c710-43cf-b3a2-7987801887f3?action=collection%2Ffork\&collection-url=entityId%3D7602335-776bf0f9-c710-43cf-b3a2-7987801887f3%26entityType%3Dcollection%26workspaceId%3Dcf2bf012-ff59-48a6-ba37-cf4864d2e43c)
After forking we recommend you [download Postman](https://www.postman.com/downloads/) for free and use locally.
The desktop version is more reliable and has more features.
Be sure to set your `Authorization: Bearer API_Key` value or Profile Key in the header.
Also, set the environment variable of \{API\_Key} with your API\_KEY.
**Postman Tips**
You can add a variable value, such as a global variable like API\_KEY to make
it easier to make your API calls in Postman. [More details how to do
this](https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/variables/variables/)
on the Postman site.
You can send an array as a variable in the Postman body set as x-www-form-urlencoded by setting the key with a \[0] value. For example, to send a post, you can set the key platforms\[0] to the first value and platforms\[1] for the second value.
## Test with Random Text and Images
We also recommend you test with [random text and images](/quickstart#publish-test-posts) so your accounts are not locked by the social networks.
## Auto Generate API Code with Postman
You can even automatically generate code directly from Postman in most programming languages - Node.js, PHP, Python, C#, and more. See the video for details on how to use Postman and generate code.
