# Setting up Postman

> A postman collection walking your through requests to the Open Finance APIs for banking data, payments, product data and more.

This **Postman collection** provides a guided sequence of API requests that help you:

* Create consents with the AlTareq Model Bank
* Obtain access tokens
* Access Open Finance resources

Following the collection step by step demonstrates essential workflows to test Open Finance capabilities outlined in the Hackathon Guide. It’s a **hands-on way to explore end-to-end flows** and see how endpoints interact.

## Setting up Postman

### Step 1. Install Postman

If you don’t already have Postman installed, follow these steps:

1. Go to the [Postman website](https://www.postman.com/downloads/).
2. Download the version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
3. Run the installer and follow the prompts.
4. Once installed, open Postman and sign in or create an account if needed.

### Step 2. Locate the Postman Collection

Within your Client Pack, you should have a file called:

`postman_collection_open_finance_hackathon.json`

Locate this file — it should look like:

```json theme={null}
{
  "info": {
    "_postman_id": "9296da61-5164-4bd8-9284-338435eeda88",
    "name": "Open Finance Hackathon Postman",
    "schema": "https://schema.getpostman.com/json/collection/v2.1.0/collection.json",
    "_exporter_id": "10637960"
  },
  "item": [
    {
      "name": "TPP Onboarding",
      "item": [
        ...
```

### Step 3. Import into Postman

Open **Postman**, click **Import**, and select the file `postman_collection_open_finance_hackathon.json`.
