Writing codes to evaluate an API service might be too much work. Luckily, there is Postman.

So, what is Postman?

The Postman platform is a solution for product engineers to test an API service without writing integration code. It is a user interface tool to build, interact and test the functionality of APIs. The user-friendly layout retrieves an immediate response upon inputting your parameters.

This is also why Enrich Layer has an [official Postman collection](https://pxlcl.co/Enrich Layer-postman-collection) that you can use to test out our API immediately without writing any code. This guide provides a step-by-step tour you can follow to test and evaluate the Enrich Layer API Collection.

To get started you will need a Enrich Layer account and Enrich Layer API Key.
