Postman is a platform that lets you create, organize, and reuse HTTP requests. You can import the Meilisearch OpenAPI specification directly into Postman to get a complete, up-to-date collection of all API routes. If you don't have Postman already, you can [download it here](https://www.postman.com/downloads/). It's free and available on many OS distributions. ## Prerequisites Download the Meilisearch OpenAPI specification file from the [latest Meilisearch release on GitHub](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/releases/latest). Scroll down to the **Assets** section of the release and download `meilisearch-openapi.json`. Save it somewhere on your computer. ## Import the OpenAPI specification Click the three-dot menu (**...**) at the top of the sidebar, then select **Import**.

Individual requests use **Bearer Token** authentication. You can verify this by selecting any request and checking the **Authorization** tab. The token field references `{{bearerToken}}`, which Postman resolves from your global variables. The Postman collection showing all Meilisearch API routes with the Authorization tab open and Bearer Token configured ## Start using the collection You can now select any route from the sidebar, adjust parameters as needed, and click **Send** to make requests to your Meilisearch instance.
