A Ready Made REST API Postman Collection for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
With around 20 years on the job, Matt is one of the most experienced software developers at Pretius. He likes meeting new people, traveling to conferences, and working on different projects.
He’s also a big sports fan (regularly watches Leeds United, Formula 1, and boxing), and not just as a spectator – he often starts his days on a mountain bike, to tune his mind.
If you want to configure your OCI environment through REST APIs, then there is a fully functional Postman Collection, all ready to start enjoying.
These should be workable within PLSQL using the apex_web_service package.
Steps:
In OCI, click on your user under Identity (you may need to select your compartment to see users).
NOTE: The user must reside in the Default Domain and cannot reside in an IAM Domain.
Under Resources, click API Keys, then Add API Key
Download the Private and Public Key, using the links below
Then click Add
When you see this screen, click Copy and paste into Notepad
Download and Install Postman
Run Postman
Click Workspaces \> Add New Workspace and complete the form like this
In the Search Bar, type in the following
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure REST APIsSelect the Oracle Developers version at the top of the search results.
Click on Environments, then Click on the 3-dots ellipses icon and click Create a fork
Fill in the form like this and click Fork Environment
In the Search bar at the top of Postman search for
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure REST APIsSelect the Oracle Developers version at the top
Find a Collection e.g. Identity And Access Management Services API. Click on the 3-dot ellipses icon and click Create a fork
Fill in the form like this and click Fork Collection
Click on Environments, select the Fork: OCI Credentials Environment and fill in the Credentials from Notepad.
Specifically these:
tenancy_ocid
user_ocid
fingerprint
Private_key (paste in the contents of the private key you downloaded)
region
To test it out, we'll try to list the OCI Users.
Navigate to Collections \> Identity and Access Management Services API > users \> List Users
Ensure the correct Environment is selected in the top right corner. See the arrow in the picture below
Then click Send to see the response...
...Hello John!
ENJOY!
Notes:
i. The user must reside in the Default Domain and cannot reside in an IAM Domain.
ii. Creation of IAM Domain Users cannot be achieved as far as I know
