Echo API Method

The Echo API method provides a simple way to familiarize yourself with the required parameters and error handling conditions that exist within our APIs. Use this method to test your integration and understand the API structure before implementing more complex functionality.

REST Client

We recommend using Postman, an excellent free REST client for testing and debugging API requests. Postman is particularly helpful when working with our calculator API, as it provides a straightforward interface for sending requests to the server and examining responses.
