Hello, 

To find the actual parameters for an API, such as what to input for “protocol” and “Host” in a JSON file, you can follow these steps:

Open the Postman Collection: Import the user-management.postman file into Postman. This will give you access to the predefined requests and their configurations.
Inspect the Requests: Look at the details of each request in the collection. Postman will show you the URL, headers, body, and other parameters used in the requests.
Check the Environment Variables: Sometimes, parameters like “protocol” and “Host” are defined as environment variables in Postman. Check the environment settings to see if these variables are set there.
Review the API Documentation: If available, the API documentation will provide detailed information about the required parameters, including “protocol” and “Host”. This documentation is often accessible through the API provider’s website.
Example JSON Configuration:

<span>{</span>
  <span>"protocol"</span><span>:</span> <span>"https"</span><span>,</span>
  <span>"Host"</span><span>:</span> <span>"api.example.com"</span><span>,</span>
  <span>"path"</span><span>:</span> <span>"/user-management"</span><span>,</span>
  <span>"method"</span><span>:</span> <span>"POST"</span><span>,</span>
  <span>"headers"</span><span>:</span> <span>{</span>
    <span>"Content-Type"</span><span>:</span> <span>"application/json"</span><span>,</span>
    <span>"Authorization"</span><span>:</span> <span>"Bearer your_token_here"</span>
  <span>}</span><span>,</span>
  <span>"body"</span><span>:</span> <span>{</span>
    <span>"username"</span><span>:</span> <span>"exampleUser"</span><span>,</span>
    <span>"password"</span><span>:</span> <span>"examplePassword"</span>
  <span>}</span>
<span>}</span>

Use Postman Console: The Postman console can help you debug and see the actual parameters being sent with each request. Open the console and make a request to see the details.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify the correct parameters for your API requests.
