Why use Postman? 

Postman is an API client that makes it easy for developers to create, share, test and document APIs. This is done by allowing users to create and save simple and complex HTTP/s requests and read their responses. The result - More efficient and less tedious work.

It should be noted that the value you enter in the URL variable should include the api- prefix. The API docs said: https://api-{fqdn}/public_api/v1/{name of api}/{name of call}/

where fqdn = tenant url

Otherwise it will return a login web page instead
