Use Postman to make API calls

Postman is a tool that lets you build and test HTTP requests in an easy-to-use interface without configuring a full development environment. The Box Postman Collection is a set of preconfigured requests that make it possible to get started with the Box API from Postman without having to manually configure the requests.
